Police “Tip” Hotline

   Troop C of the New York State Police announces the creation of a toll free line for the confidential reporting of potentially dangerous situations in the Delaware-Chenango-Madison-Otsego and Otsego Northern Catskills BOCES school districts. This system housed at Troop C headquarters, is answered by a machine, which is regularly monitored by police officials. The system is not designated for callers reporting an immediate threat; such calls should be reported to “911” or other appropriate emergency service providers. The phone number, 1-866-535-5599, will also be made available on posters placed in the school districts and through school district publications.
