Please be aware of a new scam going on locally. We received reports of a subject attempting to collect money for the Town of Fishkill Police Department. This subject was able to spoof our phone number to make the phone call look like it was coming directly from the department. If you receive a phone call and have any questions please call us at 845-831-1110 to confirm.

Starting this week you may notice brand new body cameras on Town of Fishkill Police Officers.

A little about what they do and what they don't do:
- They do record audio and visual information (although an Officer can disable the microphone or the camera to preserve someone's privacy in particularly sensitive cases.)
- They do continually buffer, so the camera will "remember" the 30 seconds of video before the Officer hits the button to record.
- They don't have A.I. that scans the video, automatically generates reports from footage or provides information to another agency.
- They don't always provide a perfect recreation of everything an Officer sees and hears at an incident. The human element of an Officer's written reports and in-person testimony is still necessary for everything we do.

We are looking forward to having these cameras help us record our interactions with citizens and preserve evidence. (And we are already there: on the first day they were out, a camera captured a DWI suspect on video.)

If you see an Officer with one, feel free to ask about it. They will be happy to explain how we use the cameras & store the videos.

The Town of Fishkill Police Department would like to remind our residents to secure their vehicles.
As we have seen in the past, the majority of car thefts and break-ins/entries have occurred when the vehicle was not properly secured. Keep an eye out for suspicious activity and contact the police if you suspect a crime has been committed.
If you see something, say something.

When using ride share services such as Uber, Lyft or other services make sure you are getting into the correct vehicle with the correct driver. Always double check that the license plate on the vehicle matches the license plate that is given on the app. Double check that the driver is the same person listed on the app. Companies such as Uber and Lyft give a pin number for the driver and passenger to double check each party is correct.

The Town of Fishkill Police Department is sad to announce the passing of former police commissioner, Dennis Zack. Dennis was as asset to this department and community. From all of us here we wish his family solace in the difficult time.
