General News: Overnight Dispatch Moves to County
June 02, 2010
The Cornwall police department’s overnight dispatch service has moved permanently to Orange County, effective this past Monday.
The move will save the department approximately $55-65,000 a year, according to police chief Todd Hazard, who estimates that only two or three calls a night came in to the dispatcher from Cornwall and Cornwall-on-Hudson residents.
Hazard said that members of the public will probably not notice the shift in service. People will still dial 534-8100 but the call will be answered by a county dispatcher who will notify a Cornwall or Cornwall-on-Hudson police officer. Phones that are located outside the police headquarters in both the town and village will dial directly to the county.
