Saranac Lake Police Department received a walk in complaint from a citizen who was contacted by a male claiming to be a Sergeant from our Agency. The caller used the name of an actual Sergeant here but did not pronounce it correctly. The caller also had a heavy accent. This is a reminder that the Saranac Lake Police Department does not contact citizens via phone to collect information. If you are unsure if the call from a Police Officer is legitimate, feel free to hang up and call back the number listed for SLPD which is (518)891-4422. You of course can always come to our Station like this individual did as well. We are always available to reassure you of the legitimacy of a call you may have received.

A heartfelt thank you to Saranac Lake High School and North Country Community College for welcoming us and our guest speaker, Mr. Jaime Puerta of VOID, to present on the dangers of Fentanyl. We loved the engagement from the youth and from the Community members who attended our session this evening. Conversations are where public safety starts.
