The Endicott Police Department has several specialty teams that serve our community in a variety of different areas.   For additional information and statistics regarding these teams, see the EPD Annual Report on our home page.

Endicott Police Street Crimes Team

The Endicott Police Street Crimes Team was created in January of 2008 as a special detail with two uniformed officers assigned to it. The SCT's mission is to focus their attention towards violent crime, street level narcotics, firearms, gang activity, surveillance, problem houses , businesses and people, using informants and intelligence gathering. 

 Police Canine Unit

In December of 2008, Police Canine (K-9) Tarah was added to the SCT.  K-9 Tarah was purchased from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Dog Service with donations from the Southern Tier Canine Association and a private donor.  K-9 Tarah along with her handler, Officer Vanek, are certified by New York State as a Tracking Dog and an Advanced Police Narcotics Detection Dog.   K-9 Tarah has also recieved certification from the Eastern Police Canine Association Incorporated as a Police Narcotics Dog 1 after more than 140 hours of training.   K-9 Tarah has been a valuable addition to the Endicott Police Force as we continue our fight against drug crimes.

Special Response Team

The Endicott Police Department is part of a multi-jurisdictional Special Response Team (SRT).  This team is composed of entry personnel, crisis negotiators, snipers and tactical medics from the Union Volunteer Emergency Squad.  The team is utilized for the resolution of high-risk incidents such as hostage situations, barricaded subjects and high-risk warrant executions.  The SRT Team trains bi-monthly and these officers possess specialized training which assist them with their unique duties on this elite team.

Endicott Bomb Squad

The Endicott Bomb Squad is also a multi-jurisdictional unit consisting of police officers from Endicott as well as Fire Fighters from both Endicott and Binghamton.  The bomb squad meets the needs of our Village as well as surrounding communities.  The bomb squad responds to incidents involving suspected improvised explosive devices as well as seizure and disposal of fireworks and unwanted/outdated ammunition.  The squad is accredited through the US Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  This accreditation allows the squad to seek funding through federal grant monies.

Bicycle Patrol

The Endicott Police Department has 4 NYS certified Bike Patrol Officers.  These officers are specially trained to patrol the parks and playgrounds of our community enforcing Village Code and Park curfews.  They also respond to complaints involving loud parties, music or disorderly behavior.  Officers assigned to bike patrol can normally get closer to crimes in progress without being observed  than motor patrols can.

Endicott Police and Fire Swiftwater Rescue Team

 The Swiftwater Rescue Team is a team composed of both Endicott Police officers and Endicott Fire Fighters.   The Swiftwater Rescue Team is tasked with preservation of life through water rescue.   The Team was formed in 2008 and currently 2 Endicott Police officers are trained and certified by NYS Office of Fire Prevention and Control at the Swiftwater Rescue Technician level.  One great advantage to having a water rescue team composed of police and firefighters is that EFD brings water rescue experience and expertise to an incident while EPD brings interview and investigative experience to the same incident.
