North Syracuse Police welcomes your TIP’s 

A dedicated TIP email address has been created to provide members of the public a means to anonymously or otherwise notify the Police Department of pertinent  information related to criminal or suspicious activity. 

The new TIP email address is tips@northsyracuseny.org

Contact information is not required; however, if you wish to receive a phone call or email response from an officer, please leave a phone number or email address where you can be reached. 

The TIP address should not be used to report crimes in progress or emergency situations.  If you witness an emergency situation, please call 9-1-1 immediately.

The holiday shopping season is upon us and the North Syracuse Village Police Department would like to offer some shopping safety tips:

• Always be aware of your surroundings.
• Avoid parking in isolated areas.
• Walk in lighted areas and on established paths.
• Have your keys ready versus digging through a purse or bag as you walk through a parking lot.
• Look for and park near security cameras.
• Keep bags in your trunk and not in open view.
• Be alert in crowded places like parking lots, jammed aisles and elevators.
• Safety in numbers; if possible, shop with family or friends.
• If someone makes you uncomfortable, or the situation doesn’t seem right, trust your instincts and leave.
• Carry a purse close to the body and hold it tight.
• If you have a number of packages from one store, put them in your trunk before you arrive at the next store, restaurant, etc.
• At home or while shopping, never leave any personal items in your vehicle or in plain sight. This includes money (even loose change), credit cards, cell phones, purses and GPS units.
• Never leave any door unlocked or windows open.
• Always allow yourself extra time; while in a rush, people forget basic safety rules.
• If you see anything suspicious, call 911.

Have a safe and happy holiday!

It’s that time of the year!

Tuesday, July 10, 2012, two Village residents arriving home observed a young male being  physically attacked by a couple other young males.  The residents hollered at the attackers who fled, went to assist the youth being attacked and called for the North Syracuse Police.  Another youth approached the citizens advising them he had also been attacked. When the police arrived in the area they spotted three supects ordered them to stop but they fled on foot and one on a bike.  One of the suspect was taken into custody by the Officr while other area agency officers arrived to continue the search.  A second suspect was taken into custody.  Upon returning to the police department with the two suspects the third suspect turned himself in.  The Victims ages, 15 and  17, were transported to the hospital and released after treatment.  The suspects, ages 15, 16, qnd 18 ,were arraigned on charges of Robbery, assault, conspiracy, larceny, and the 18 year old was also charged with endangering the welfare of a child .

The timely reporting of this incident by the Village residents and quick response of the Village Police was another example of   citizens working in partnership with the police that resulted in the suspects of this crime being identified and arrested.
