New York State Police Assisting with Perimeter Security at Several Prison Facilities

Albany, NY – The New York State Police are assisting the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (NYSDOCCS) by providing outer perimeter security at select correctional facilities experiencing job action strikes or increased staff absences.

Since last evening, NYSP personnel have been deployed to several facilities to maintain a presence on facility grounds, ensuring DOCCS staff can focus their efforts on interior security operations.

At this time, the NYSP role remains limited to external security support.
