A message of Parks Commissioner Eric Bacon to the Camillus Police Department:
On February 20, 2015 at approximately 10:00 PM two of our locker rooms had items stolen from them while adult hockey players were out on the ice. Needless to say, the people who had items stolen were not happy. I also was not happy as I felt that our “house” at Shove had been violated. Almost immediately your department stepped forward to begin the process of determining who was responsible. Last week I had regular contact with your department and as always, was impressed with their professionalism and genuine desire to apprehend the person who was responsible. Through the efforts of your department, fortunately you were able to quickly identify the suspect who lived out of the area and by the end of the week take the suspect into custody. I was impressed with this efficiency and even more impressed that the suspect who was arrested is and has been linked to similar crimes in other facilities over a period of time and your agency was the Police Department that was able to arrest him. That is impressive and I think is something you should be proud of. Your department constantly looks out for my department and the residents of the Town of Camillus. Please accept my personal “thank you” to you and all the members of your agency. We are very lucky to be served by true professionals who care so much about their/our community.
