Chief of Police Hello and welcome!
The purpose of this site is to share information with the public that we serve, helping you better understand the jobs that we perform. We are a small department that covers a geographical area of three square miles with approximately 3,000 residents. Our emphasis is on customer service; protecting the life and property of those we serve. The village of Fort Edward is located along the banks of the Hudson River, approximately fifty miles north of Albany. Our department employs five full-time officers with a supplemental staff of six part-time officers. Part-time officers are assigned to all day to day operations with some having specialized training related to police master instruction and school security. We are the only municipal department in the Warren and Washington county region that supports a S.C.U.B.A. team. The S.C.U.B.A project is headed by Chief Walter Sandford and Officer Sean Mahoney through grant application, in foresight to the expected increase in river activity, with respect to the Hudson River Dredging Project. The department is currently working in conjunction with the E.P.A , N.Y.S.D.E.C. and General Electric to satisfy the public safety needs of the local residents. We Strive for excellence, never forgetting, we are human. Our Warmest Regards, Walter D. Sandford And Crew!
