We will also we will produce cards at our Headquarters by appointment. To set up an appointment call us at 315-458-5670.

North Syracuse Police Department participates in Project SafeChild. Project ChildSafe is a program of the National Shooting Sports Foundation to promote firearms safety and education. We, at NSPD, are committed to promoting genuine firearms safety through the distribution of safety education messages and free firearm safety kits to our community. These firearm locks/ safety kits are available in our lobby free of charge to our village residents. You may stop in to our lobby weekdays 8:00AM to 4:00PM to pick up your free gun lock and educational materials. 

Village residents may drop off their unused medications and/or drugs as well as their SHARPS (needles/syringes/lancets) during normal business hours at the North Syracuse Police Headquarters.

Goal:

• To establish a new system for proper disposal of all types of drugs as well as needles/sharps in Onondaga County. The SNADD program provides the general public an opportunity to dispose of unwanted or expired drugs, including opioids and other narcotics.
• To encourage the general public to properly dispose of sharps and drugs through a new drop-off process at participating, local law enforcement agencies, promoting safe and easy disposal and reducing accessibility and availability of dangerous drugs.

The Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) holds semi-annual drug take-back events. The SNADD program complements these efforts providing take back opportunities between events.

Partners:

The SNADD Program is a collaboration of: the Onondaga County District Attorney’s Office, the Onondaga County Health Department, Upstate New York Poison Center, OCRRA, Covanta, Citizen’s Campaign for the Environment, REACH CNY, and Prevention Network.

Locations:

The program encompasses 10 participating police departments (PDs) in Onondaga County including: Baldwinsville, Camillus, Cicero, Dewitt, Geddes, Jordan, Manlius, Marcellus, Solvay and Syracuse PDs. Most recently Onondaga County Community College and SUNY Environmental School of Forestry have agreed to install med boxes. Some PD’s and both colleges also collect sharps/needles at designated locations at their sites. The program is ongoing throughout the year. More information is available at http://www.upstate.edu/poison/news/news-archive/snadd1.php.

Expectations:

• Each PD houses one receptacle to collect drugs, including narcotics.
• Where feasible, each PD houses a separate receptacle to collect sharps/needles.
• Receptacles are emptied and disposed of properly in accordance with state and federal laws.
• Each police station/headquarters will be the SNADD-designated collection point for med boxes in its municipality.
• Members of the community will be encouraged to drop off their medications/drugs and used hypodermic needles, sharps and lancets at these sites during their regular business hours.
• The program will provide incineration of the drugs at no cost to the PD or community

The North Syracuse Police Department's House Watch Program is designated for residents who will NOT have anyone (such as pet sitters, someone watering plants/checking the residence, etc.) at their home while they are away for an extended period of time. 

If you have someone watching your house, have them contact the Police Department in the event it looks like something is "out of place" or "disturbed."

These checks are random outdoor visual checks of your property and home. If an incident does occur at your residence while you are away, the information provided below will assist police personnel in contacting a responsible party and complete an investigation. Once your request is submitted, a return email will be sent to you confirming receipt and ensuring your residence will be added to our property checklist. You can call our headquarters at 315-458-5670 or use the NSPD mobile phone app to submit your request.  Enjoy your vacation!

Through the NSPD Phone App Village residents may register their bicycles. Having identifying information about your bicycle plays an important part in our officer's ability to find and return your property.  This information will help our officers in the event your bicycle is lost or stolen.   Download the NSPD mobile phone app to register your bicycle today.
