Meet Officer Ryan Sussman. He is one of our officers that has advanced training and experience in DWI enforcement that makes him a certified Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) in New York State. His primary focus is to take impaired drivers off the road. He works hard at keeping the roadways safe for everyone in New Windsor.
In the last month, NWPD has arrested a staggering 11 drivers for Driving While Intoxicated or Driving while Ability Impaired by Drugs.
Chief Robert Doss commented, “There is simply no excuse for these individuals to be behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. Call a friend, call a relative, get a taxi or an Uber but don’t get behind the wheel because you’re putting yourself and others at risk. Our DWI enforcement numbers show that our officers are out there making a difference in keeping the roads safe but we need everyone’s cooperation. These DWI arrests are completely preventable. Be smart. Make a plan in advance to get home safe. You owe it to yourself and you owe it to the community.”

New Windsor Police Officer Steven Bohr recently attended a two-week police training course to certify him to safely and efficiently operate a police motorcycle.

The class consisted of 20 police officers from several different police agencies in Westchester, Dutchess, Suffolk and Orange Counties, as well as one officer from a Connecticut agency. This highly demanding and rigorous course of instruction consisted of both classroom training and extensive riding through closed obstacle courses and on public roadways.
Officer Steven Bohr received the ‘Top Gun’ award for being the best motorcycle rider in the class. Officer Bohr is the first officer to be added to the Town of New Windsor Motor Unit in over 10 years. The Motor Unit was formed in 1995 and currently consists of three police motorcycles.
