At 11:24 pm the Beacon PD recieved a call for a missing and injured hiker in the vicinity of Long Dock Park. Officers were dispatched to the area and were able to locate the subject at Dennings Point along the river, down a steep embankment and laying in the water. Beacon FD and BVAC were requested to the scene as the hiker was unable to walk and possibly hypothermic. Due to the nature of the hiker's injuries, terrain and the remoteness of the location, officers utilized the ...department's UTV to transport rescue personnel and equipment to assist the hiker. The hiker was successfully extracted from the location and taken off the trail on the UTV to an awaiting ambulance and transported to the hospital to recieve medical attention. The PBA would like to thank Beacon Professional Firefighters - IAFF Local 3490 and Beacon Volunteer Ambulance Corps for their quick response and expertise. We are proud to work along such outstanding individuals.

The City of Beacon Police would like to inform the public we have and will continue performing security checks of businesses inside the city after hours. After ...an officer performs a check of a business, he or she will periodically complete the department's below pictured hanger and place it on the door of the business. Due to limited supplies, if you do not receive a door hanger it does not necessarily mean the business was not checked. The purpose of business checks is to prevent and detect criminal activity. Officers occasionally come across doors left unlocked while checking businesses and then attempt to lock the door or contact the owner. It is highly encouraged that any new business owner's inform the police station of their contact information for any emergency.

"If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate." - Sandy Dahl, wife of Jason Dahl, pilot of Flight 93
