A MESSAGE FROM OUR COUNTY EXECUTIVE: Steve Neuhaus

Update: I along with Orange County Emergency Services- NY have been in constant communication with federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies regarding the drone activity occurring throughout the County.

The collaboration is ongoing, and we urge residents to refrain from calling 911, but to report any drone encounters to the following tip lines:

• NY State Police: [email protected]
• FBI: https://tips.fbi.gov or call 1-800-Call-FBI (225-5324)

FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) is the investigation's lead agency. We will continue to work closely with JTTF to monitor the situation and provide updates as available.

What's on my mind... DRONES...how about you? This is a first when the government does not respond to the many drone reports inlcuding from our County Executive, Steve Neuhaus who has been in touch with homeland security, the Pentagon and more. Steve is waiting for a clear answer as well. What would it take to have them respond. Scary? Well only if you think what if this is a military reconnaissance, or maybe just a military operation, or foreign enemies testing the water. Someone in our goverment MUST say something... the signs all over NYC say the following:

IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING! We have said more than something - ELECTED OFFICIALS, MILITARY, SAY SOMETHING TO YOUR CITIZENS AND QUELL THEIR FEARS.... Now is a good time!
