Public Safety 6/2/2026

The Saratoga County Public Safety Committee met on June 2, 2026, to discuss and approve procurement-related resolutions. The committee authorized the chairman to execute an agreement with the Capital District Youth Center Inc. for the use and operation of a regional juvenile security detention facility serving Saratoga and neighboring counties. The agreement reflects changes due to "raise the age" legislation and facility expansion to 39 beds, with associated costs detailed, including past expenditures ranging from approximately $142,000 to $541,000 annually. Additionally, the committee accepted a 2026 Crimes Against Revenue Program grant from the New York State Division of Justice Services, which funds the hiring of an attorney and training, offsetting most of the attorney's salary. Both motions were approved unanimously.
