Lieutenant Salisbury and Officer Sulaiman had a great time this past Sunday connecting with the community at the Touch-A-Truck Cortland event.

Children had the exciting opportunity to climb aboard a variety of vehicles they see every day—from police cars to public service trucks—and learn what each one is used for. Events like this help foster positive relationships and give children a better understanding of the important roles these vehicles (and the people who operate them) play in keeping the community safe and running smoothly.

Thank you to our Cortland Youth Bureau for the invitation and for organizing such a fun and educational event—we were proud to be a part of it!

This past Saturday, our department was honored to join law enforcement agencies from across our community to participate in the 2026 Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics New York. The Torch Run represents more than just a tradition—it’s a powerful reminder of the importance of inclusion, unity, and community. This year marks 40 years of law enforcement running alongside our amazing athletes of Special Olympics New York, whose determination, courage, and spirit continue to light the way and inspire us all.

Together, we celebrate the strength and achievements of these remarkable athletes and reaffirm our commitment to building a more inclusive community by helping carry the Flame of Hope. Thank you to all of the participants, organizers, and volunteers that make this event possible!
