"Serve and Protect"
Ticonderoga Police Department
ABOUT US
The Department's roots can be traced
back to the late 1800's. For over 100 years citizens and visitors have enjoyed
the comfort of the highest standard of police service and the Department
continues to respect those standards and traditions. Today,
the Ticonderoga Police Department consists of a Chief, 1 Sergeant,5 full time Patrolman and 5 Part tim Patrolman and a Police Records Clerk. The department
patrols an area of 88.3 square miles and serves approximately 5200 local
citizens.
The officers
of the Ticonderoga Poilce Department receive 6 months of intensive police
academy training prior to being assigned to active patrol. This training was
normally held at the Zone 9 Police Academy in Plattsburgh, NY until 2007. In
2007 we sent our first officer to the Zone 5 Police Academy in Schenectady, NY.
Aside from the basic 6 month academy, officers receive ongoing instruction in
several key areas as well as individual specialized training. All officers
recieve annual firearms and use of force training from the Department's
Firearms Instructor as well as CPR and Automatic External Defibrillator (AED)
training from the Department's medical instructor. Specialized training include
sexual assault investigation, railway incident investigation, narcotic
investigation, mountain bike patrol, animal cruelty investigation, commercial
vehicle enforcement, accident reconstruction, death investigation and many
more.
Mostly
through grant funding opportunities the department has acquired state of the
art technologies to enhance the patrol officers capabilities. Each patrol car
is equipped with the New York State TraCS (TRAffic and Criminal Software)
loaded on to mobile data terminals from Data 911 Systems. This software is
integrated with barcode scanner technology that allows the officer to scan
licenses and registrations directly into the computer which greatly reduces the
time a motorist must be held on the side of the road during a traffic stop.
Statements and Appearance Tickets can be printed out from the vehicles and
issued on the spot which allows the officer to get back on patrol much more
rapidly. Basically, most things that required a trip to the station are no
longer necessary with the utilization of mobile data terminals. The department
is also equipped with high tech surveillance devices and a thermal imaging
camera.
