The Town of Vestal Police Department has invested in a community-based website called Crimewatch. This website will keep the public informed of notable arrests, events, warrants and can be used to submit tips, request house watches, register their surveillance cameras and home alarms and file a traffic complaint.
This past Saturday morning at approximately 5:30am a tip was submitted to the Crimewatch website. By chance, a member of our administration was awake and saw the tip. That member immediately called the shift supervisor and requested that patrol respond to the location given. An arrest was made as a result of this tip, but we want to encourage the public to use 911 or the nonemergency number (607) 754-2111 to report incidents that are in progress. This will ensure proper documentation and a timely response from our officers.
We thank the public for staying vigilant and we appreciate their ongoing support.
