HEADS UP! A statewide crackdown on speeding starts today as New York ramps up patrols to curb crashes. The effort is the second Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee-sponsored summer campaign focused on speeding. The first crackdown in June saw over 56,000 tickets issued statewide from both state and local law enforcement agencies.

At 2:00 AM this past Wednesday, a sharp-eyed resident caught a suspect pulling on car door handles in their driveway and immediately dialed the Colonie Police.

Colonie Patrol Officers quickly established a perimeter, while Officer Frank Peris—a senior midnight patrol officer and decorated Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) pilot—launched a police drone to track the fleeing individual.

Using thermal imaging, Officer Peris pinpointed the suspect and guided ground officers directly to his location for a swift, safe apprehension.

It is important for our community to know that the Colonie Police Department uses advanced technology in a targeted, precise way to hold thieves accountable and keep our neighborhoods safe.

Help us keep Colonie safe. Every evening, please remember to Light it Up & Lock it Up! Turning on exterior lights, locking vehicle doors, and removing valuables are simple, powerful steps to deter thieves before they strike.
