Orangetown Police Department

I can never forget when they came to rescue me on Oct 8, 2021. Detective Mathew Sullivan and his team were most professional and caring.

Best in the county! I love them, good fair people.
Many civilians forget that it's a dangerous job at times. So if you get pulled over, put on your interior dome light, roll your windows down (especially if tinted- roll them all down) and keep your hands on the steering wheel until the officer approaches you and asks.

This makes it safer for both parties, as visibility of the car's interior light helps officer's detect if there is a threat or not. Your hands remaining on the wheel show that you are not a threat. We live in trying times, and LE is just trying to do their job to better the community and get home to their spouses and children after shift. If you've nothing to hide, don't worry, yet still follow the instructions above if being pulled over. If you do, then honesty is the best policy.

Some who posted negatives below fail to understand that calls go by priority. @Apuzzo, the "slow response" (which could mean 5-10 mins or less depending on the situation) could be due to police having to be on the scene of a critical car accident, or where someone's life is in jeopardy. Besides, it's best to monitor areas such as speeders in a school zonne with technology. It could be set up already by now, to give out the location would be foolish. Have faith, i understand your concern.
Police are required to arrive before EMS can enter in NY. As for the wildlife call, animal control is a completely different number and not connected. If you Google your information calmly, you will find what you need.
Thank you to all our first responders' in these trying times of Covid19. They are putting their lives, as well as their families to protect us.
