The Town of Ogden Police department is a full service law enforcement agency, providing numerous services to the residents and visitors of the Village of Spencerport and the Town of Ogden. The Town of Ogden was founded on January 17, 1817 and the Ogden Police Department was established on December 7, 1935. Ogden PD was the first agency of its size to be accredited in the State of New York. The age
ncy was re-accredited in 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016, and most recently in 2021. The Ogden Police Department has a total of 20 full and part-time employees. Chief Travis Gray oversees the agency. The law enforcement division of the agency consists of three Sergeants, one uniformed Investigator, seven full time patrol officers, one part time patrol officer, and one part time D.A.R.E. officer who teaches in the four local elementary schools. Members of the Ogden PD are dispatched by the Monroe County Emergency Communications Department, a nationally accredited emergency service dispatch center. Training is largely conducted at the nearby Public Safety Training Facility, which is operated by Monroe Community College. The agency also has a Special Police Unit, which consists of 12 volunteer members. These members assist the police department with many functions, such as lock-outs to vehicles, house checks for our citizens who are vacation, and public safety functions during the Spencerport Fire District parade and carnival. Special Police officers also assist with disabled motorists, traffic direction and STOP DWI road checks. Animal Control is responsible for improving animal relations with the public and enforcing the local dog control laws. The Town of Ogden Animal Control is certified by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to handle nuisance wildlife, as well as being equipped with the most modern tools to assist with removal of bats, squirrels, opossums and raccoons. For wildlife causing damage, we offer Have-A-Heart cage traps for Ogden/Spencerport residents at no charge.
