On February 3rd Orange County Sheriff Carl E. DuBois and Chief Investigator Greg Gaetano attended the public session of the Homeland Security Advisory Council. The meeting was hosted at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City.
At the meeting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano addressed the audience and discussed the national efforts to prevent, detect, and deter violent extremism and the domestic terrorist threat.
The Chairman of the meeting was Judge William Webster. Judge Webster acts as Chair to the Homeland Security Advisory Committee. Webster was former Director of the FBI and CIA. The Committee’s Vice Chair who was also on hand is former United States Senator Gary Hart. The role of the Homeland Security Advisory Committee (HSAC) is to provide recommendations on programs and initiatives to Secretary Napolitano of DHS. The agenda of the public meeting also included remarks from Judge Webster, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Senator Hart and a presentation by Dr. Lydia Thomas. After the public session members of the Advisory Council made themselves available to members of the audience.
Sheriff DuBois conferred with Judge Webster and Frances Townsend, a former chair of the Homeland Security Council. Ms.Townsend had also served as Deputy Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Advisor for Combating Terrorism.
Sheriff DuBois discussed the issue of having the terrorist trials of Khalid Sheik Mohammed and the other suspected terrorists in Newburgh. Sheriff DuBois was most emphatic of his position that the terrorist trials should not be held in Orange County as this type of trial would require planning, logistics and the necessary resources that Newburgh cannot provide.
Sheriff DuBois also discussed the issue with Bart Johnson, Principal Deputy Undersecretary of Intelligence and Analysis at DHS and Denise O’Donnell, who is Commissioner of the New York State Department of Criminal Justice Services and Deputy Secretary of Public Safety.
Sheriff DuBois made his point clear that these trials should be held in another location.

 07-14-09 Emergency Exercise Held - Multi Agency Police Response To A School Emergency
On Tuesday, July 14th 2009 a Multi Agency Response to a School Emergency drill was held at Berea Elementary School in the Town of Montgomery.
Members of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office along with the New York State Police, Town of Montgomery Police Department, Village of Walden Police Dept. and the Village of Montgomery Police Dept. participated in the exercise. Members of School Administration from Berea School and the Valley Central School District were on hand to observe and evaluate.
The drill was designed as a training exercise and an exercise to examine response and communications capabilities. The drill scenarios and exercise evaluations were done by Sheriff’s Office Deputies and Corrections Officers.
Deputies, Troopers and local Police Officers from surrounding communities in the Valley Central School District responded to a scenario where there was a reported active shooter inside the school. Officers who participated in the drill were given the scenario as if the crisis was taking place in real time.
The focus of the drill was to build a scenario where officers from agencies that would respond to such a crisis would be able to conduct tactical training together and have the opportunity to work in a scenario that was designed to be as real as possible. Another aspect of the drill was to test the capabilities of responding officers from different locals to communicate and coordinate with one another.
Representatives from Coldenham Fire Co., Mobile Life Support Services and Orange County Emergency Services Communications also participated in the exercise. In a scenario such as this, there would be many calls to the 911 center and radio transmissions for all responding agencies would increase at a very high rate.
Prior to the actual exercise there were three (3) Table Top Planning meetings. These meetings brought together Command and Supervisory personnel from the different agencies as a lead up the actual drill.
The drill was funded by a state grant that was obtained by Sheriff Carl E. DuBois from State Senator William Larkin.

 Sheriff’s Intel group named top gang unit in state
Tuesday July 22, 2008
The New York State Gang Investigators Association has named the Orange County Sheriff’s Office Security Risk Group at the county jail as the gang unit of the year in the state.
The unit began in 1996 and is responsible for gathering, investigating, analyzing and disseminating intelligence information gathered from inmates at the jail that could pose a possible, direct or credible threat to the facility or the general civilian population.
Sheriff Carl DuBois Tuesday praised the unit. “This is quite an accomplishment.”
Of the jail population, 21 percent are gang members, and securing information can be useful to solve other crimes. The intel unit has gathered information about the Middletown City Police Department’s ongoing investigating into the murder of Robert Kwiatkowski last April, the officers said.
The unit, which functions on a part-time basis along with the seven officers’ normal duties, may also become involved with intelligence gathering among federal detainees once they are housed at the jail, said Dubois.

 ORANGE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE CIVIL UNIT TRANSITIONS TO NEW SOFTWARE
Associate Account Clerk Bernadine Ogden (seated) shows County Legislator Greg Townsend the new windows based Civil Software program. Orange County Information Services Systems Analyst, Bonnie Urbanski (l), faciliated with the software upgrade. Chief Greg Gaetano and Sheriff DuBois look on.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office has upgraded its Civil Office Software system from their original program which was implemented back in the early 1990s. The original Retko system, was a Fox Pro (DOS) data processing system that computed civil process using information modules. The new SoftCode software system is a windows based system that looks to improve office efficiency and streamline the civil process.
In past years the Civil Unit has processed millions of dollars through the Office. In 2006
The Civil Unit processed 6.9 million dollars with total revenue close to ½ of a million dollars
being generated for the County.
The process of implementation started two years ago. Civil Office staff coordinated with
representatives from Information Services to search for a more efficient windows based
software system. After a review of systems, the SoftCode system was chosen as the new program.
In September, the Civil Unit staff attended training sessions which prepared them for the software transition and implementation. Civil Unit staff coordinated with Information Services during the training and transition.
On November 15th the Civil Office staff completed total transition to the new software system. This project did not go without implementation setbacks. Numerous communiqués to the software vendor support line and Information Services found and fixed problems in the system. These types of issues are common in software program transitions but they did require a lot of work and a lot of patience on the part of the Civil Unit staff.
Many of the files stored on the old software system have been and will be migrated to the new system. Some files will be archived on the old system until such time as they become completed and closed.
Sheriff DuBois commended the work of the Civil Unit and Information Services. The Sheriff
commended Associate Account Clerk Bernadine Ogden and Principle Account Clerk Shannon
Mahoney for leading the Unit through the transition. The Sheriff also recognized the hard work of Senior Account Clerks JoAnn Tipton, Bernadette Treglia, Laraine Anderson, Angela Murray, Senior Clerk Barbara Reiser, along with Deputies Ray Smith and Tom McDonald who are assigned to the Civil Unit. Civil Unit staff worked hard and spent long days in the Office. Not only did they have to complete the transition but that had to manage the everyday work of the Office.
Orange County Information Services played a major role in the software upgrade and transition. The Sheriff commended the software installation staff especially Director of Systems Integration, Dick Robinson, and the MIS support team of Bonnie Urbanski who was the liaison from Info Services to the Civil Unit project, Steve Richner, Mike Warnon, Jim Wood and Leslie Marvin.
