About
The mission of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office is to preserve the rights of citizens in the County through the prevention of crime, protection of life and property, and the maintenance of order. The department enhances the quality of life throughout the County through education and awareness programs that help empower the people in the areas of security and public safety.
Civil Bureau
The Civil Bureau of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office performs the constitutionally mandated and statutorily authorized civil enforcement functions of the Sheriff. The Civil Bureau, under the Sheriff's ultimate direction, enforces a myriad of provisions of the New York State Civil Practice Law and Rules and constitutes the exclusive enforcement arm within the county for local, county, state, and federal courts . . .
Marine Unit
The Putnam County Sheriff's Office's Marine Unit patrols bodies of water during the boating season. Currently, fully-equipped vessels routinely patrol the county's portion of the Hudson River and Lake Oscawana, a fresh water lake in Putnam Valley . . .
School Resource Officer Program
Historically, our schools have been relatively safe havens from violence and other social forces that affect our children's sense of safety and security. However, recently law enforcement agencies have had to assume a greater role in helping school officials ensure the safety of all those occupying their educational facilities . . .
Narcotic Enforcement Unit
The mission of the Putnam County Sheriff's Narcotic Enforcement Unit is to detect those using and trafficking illegal drugs in our county, to arrest offenders and seize contraband in an effort to make Putnam County a safer and more enjoyable place to live, work and raise a family.
The Narcotics Enforcement Unit maintains a "zero tolerance" attitude in combating any level of criminal drug activity and street crime that have a profound impact on the quality of life in Putnam County.
