The principal responsibility of the Police Department is the protection of life and property within the Village of Spring Valley. This is accomplished through the enforcement of laws and coordination of emergency services provided by other Village departments and outside agencies. Officers are trained in law, emergency first-aid, self-defense, handling firearms, traffic control, crime detection, and other related fields.
The concept of protection of life and property includes the maintenance of community peace and tranquility, which is accomplished through countless services provided by the Police Department on a priority basis and as time and manpower permit. While the police officer’s legal functions center upon law enforcement, his primary product is SERVICE in the interest of maintaining a community for better living.
For routine service, questions, or to report an incident that is routine in nature, please use the main number (845) 356-7400. For emergencies (fire, police, ambulance), just dial 911.
It is important that you use 911 ONLY in an emergency.
To insure a prompt response by the Police, Fire, or Ambulance units, please see to it that your house number is clearly visible.
