New York Cities

New York has dozens of cities, towns, and villages with their own police departments or law enforcement services. Some operate full municipal police departments, while others contract with the county sheriff for patrol and records services. Police records requests go to the agency that handles law enforcement for that community. In many cases, the city clerk or town clerk serves as the FOIL records access officer. Select a city or town below to find the right agency for police records in that area, along with contact details and request procedures.
