As many of you know a Committee comprised of Town Officials, citizens and regional experts was brought together to develop Deer Mangagment Plan for Camillus. The full plan can be accessed here Camillus Deer Management Plan

At a recent Town Board meeting, the Town formally approved a Donation Agreement with Honeywell for a 14.64 acre portion of the Reed Webster Park lands. As the Town will now be the technical owner of the enlarged Park area, we will be able to hopefully secure more grants to enhance the area. Most grants require the applying entity to also be the owner of lands that grant funding will be applied to.

From Camillus Police Chief Tom Winn – “I am proud to report that we have very successfully completed our 5 year New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services, Law Enforcement Accreditation, compliance audit. I want to thank each of you for the great work you have completed during the past 5 years. It was certainly evident to the auditor. As you know our agency has a long history of compliance with all program standards. I am proud to inform you that we will be recommended to the full NYS Law Enforcement Accreditation Council for reaccreditation. A ceremony will take place in March of 2018 in Albany NY and will be available via webcast if you are interested in watching (more details to follow). Besides the good work each of you did preparing for the audit, speaking with an auditor and personally complying with the standards for the past 5 years I would like to specifically thank the below listed department members for their individual contributions to this effort.

Lieutenant Daniel Burlingame Program Manager
Sergeant James Nightingale Training
Sergeant Michael Schreyer Weapons and Evidence Control
Detective Matt Slate Evidence Control
Detective Jay Pollard Background Investigations
SRO Anthony Gucciardi Program Manager, Assistant
Sue Shoff Records Management, Current

To quote DCJS Compliance Auditor Christa L. Heckathorn “ What a well-trained, happy and informed group of professionals. One of the best compliance audits I have ever participated in.”
