The Village of Tuxedo Park Police Department comprises a dedicated and skilled group of professionals committed to working with the community to make the Village of Tuxedo Park a safe and desirable place to live, work, or visit.

Our mission is to partner with the community to solve problems and improve public safety in a fair, impartial, transparent, and consistent manner, otherwise known as Community Policing.

As a taxpayer or user of the services offered by the Village of Tuxedo Park Police Department, you are our largest asset in the fight to prevent crimes of opportunity or misguided personal desire. As we embark on our primary mission of providing peace and security for the greater Tuxedo Park community, we hope you will continue to support our efforts by contacting the police department when you believe a crime has been committed or may be committed.

Prescription Drug Disposal Box

The Tuxedo Park Police Department has installed a prescription drug disposal box in the KEEP where residents can dispose of their leftover, expired, or unwanted medication, no questions asked.

In keeping with our move toward community policing, we are happy to provide this service to our residents and strongly encourage them to use it. Residents can access our Kiosk 24×7, or for residents who are not mobile, we can send an officer to your house to take your unwanted medications, and we will dispose of them in the Kiosk.

Project ChildSafe

Our Police department is a participant in Project ChildSafe. Project ChildSafe is the largest, most comprehensive firearms safety education program in the U.S. It was developed by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the trade association for the firearms industry, and is committed to promoting genuine firearms safety through the distribution of safety education messages and free firearm Safety Kits. The kits include a cable-style gun-locking device and a brochure (also available in Spanish) that discusses safe handling and secure storage guidelines to help deter access by unauthorized individuals.

Safe Kids National Child Passenger Safety Seat Program

The Village of Tuxedo Park Police Department is now part of the Safe Kids National Child Passenger Safety Seat Program. This is a free service that we are offering to our residents to help keep children as safe as possible while riding in your vehicle.

One of our police officers recently attended a week-long training course and became certified as a Child Passenger Safety Seat Technician. His certification included inspecting already installed car seats, properly installing your car seat(s), recommending the safest location to install the car seat depending on the make and model of your vehicle, recommendations of the safest car seats on the market and he has an extensive list of car seats that have been recalled. Make an appointment to have your child’s seat inspected and installed properly.
