An Action Plan for Sustainable Police Services for the Village of Upper Brookville - March 31, 2011
March 31, 2011
Dear Residents of Upper Brookville,
Some of you may be aware of recent events involving the
Village of Muttontown. On March 25,
2011, the Trustees of Muttontown gave notice that they would not renew their
contract for police service from the Old Brookville Police Department (OBPD)
upon expiration on May 31, 2011.
As the largest of the seven Villages which support the
OBPD, Muttontown was budgeted to pay 26.4% of the Department costs next year.
The loss of that substantial revenue base will put severe stress on OBPD
finances. We anticipate that the
Department will likely face a significant budget gap.
The burden of filling that gap will fall on the residents of the
remaining villages, including Upper Brookville.
In an effort to avoid that burden, Upper Brookville will attempt to
restructure our relationship with the OBPD.
In parallel with that effort, we will explore alternative means of
securing police service.
To be clear, these considerations are not a reflection on
the quality of service rendered by the personnel of the OBPD.
Rather, these are strictly financial considerations that also reflect our
Trustees’ concerns for ensuring a sustainable source of police protection for
our community. The OBPD remains your
police force through at least May 31, 2011.
However, if the contract cannot be restructured on acceptable terms, we
will seek services from another neighboring police force.
In any case, we assure you that there will be no interruption in police
service to the Village of Upper Brookville.
I will keep residents informed of updates in the matter.
This, and future updates, will also be posted on the Village website,
www.upperbrookville.org.
Thank you,
Terry L. Thielen
Mayor
