Whitestown to Receive New Patrol Car
July 19, 2010 Whitestown Police Commission proudly announces the receipt of a grant to fund the purchase of a new marked police vehicle. The 2009 Byrne JAC Recovery initiative will allow the Town to purchase and equip a new patrol car for 2010. This is a federally funded program to assist local law enforcement agencies to maintain a safe fleet of vehicles. The Town is very grateful for this funding. Police Chief Donald Wolanin and town employee Tanya Farley worked diligently on the application which allowed the town to secure these funds. Many thanks to all involved.
Thank You

The Town Clerk, Mary Finegan, organized the disbursement of the flags with the help of these area youths- Geoffrey Webb, Patrick Wiggins, Jack Mercurio and Taylor Fadrowski.
Outstanding Citizen Award to be presented to Officer Moore
June 09, 2010 The Whitestown Police Commission and Whitestown Town Board will present Officer Donald J Moore of the Rome Police Department with an Outstanding Citizen Award on June 16 at 7:00 PM. The ceremony will take place at the beginning of the regular Town Board meeting at the Town Meeting Room located at 8539 Clark Mills Road, Whitesboro.
Officer Moore is being honored for his quick actions in the face of extreme and deadly danger at the AT&T location in New York Mills on May 27th.

The public is invited to attend the presentation and show their appreciation to Officer Moore.
