"Message from the Chief"

 

 As is the case with law enforcement agencies throughout our great state and nation, the Saratoga Springs Police Department has been confronted with some daunting challenges in these very difficult economic times.  With the recent loss of (7) positions due to budget cuts, our ability to continue several of our present community based programs in their current form is at risk.  However, I, along with every member of the Department, are up for the challenges before us and pledge to continue to provide EFFICIENT and PROFESSIONAL police services to our citizens and visitors.  The SSPD is comprised of men and women - both sworn and civilian - who have been sworn to protect and serve this great city.  The current economic issues have not changed our mission. The Commissioner of Public Safety, along with me and my staff, will have some very tough decisions to make. Rest assured, every decision will be made keeping the safety of the public we serve as our FIRST and ONLY priority.  I ask for the community's support as we navigate these troubled waters and I look forward to serving as your Chief of Police.

Assistant Chief of Police

The men and women of the Saratoga Springs Police Department are proud to serve this World Class city and to protect its citizens and visitors.  The fact that Saratoga Springs is a safe and family friendly community that all can enjoy is in no small measure due to the dedication, bravery and professionalism of our fine officers.  It is our goal to maintain the high quality of life that is the Saratoga Springs Experience through continued professional training and proactive policing.  We look forward to the continued partnership with residents, visitors, organizations and business to further the legacy of excellence of the Saratoga Springs Police Department.
