Open Letter to the Community from Chief Nordquist:
As your Chief, it is my responsibility and pleasure to be accessible to the residents and business people within the Town of Ogden and Village of Spencerport. I am always willing to meet with someone who has a question or a concern. Many times a resident will come into the office only to find that I am out of the building or attending a previously scheduled meeting. To be more efficient and available to the community, I wish to expand a practice that I already have in place. Currently, I set aside every Friday from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. for our Neighborhood Watch Captains to stop in and see me for matters that need to be discussed. I offer the same open invitation to everyone in our community. No appointment is necessary; nobody will be turned away.
Of course, I am available other times as well. This is meant to serve as an open invitation at a time when I am scheduled in the office. The Police Department works very closely with Supervisor Lenhard and Mayor Lobene’s Office and often times, our collective communication can address an issue of concern in a timely manner. Some issues are strictly Police Department specific. I welcome the opportunity to discuss anything that is of importance or concern to you.
Sincerely,
Douglas Nordquist
Chief of Police

NO FISHING ON RT-531
No matter how alluring the thought of fishing in the retention pond along Route 531 in Ogden may be, the state Department of Transportation says don't park on the expressway.
"Although we promote outdoor recreation, we have serious concerns for the safety of those who pull off the expressway to access the pond and the other motorists traveling on the expressway," acting director Robert Traver said in a statement.
In response to concerns about people parking on the side of the 65-mph expressway in order to access the pond with their fishing poles and boats, the Department of Transportation has posted "Emergency Stopping Only" signs along the eastbound shoulder.
"No Trespassing" signs have also been installed near the water.
"Stopping on an expressway should be reserved for emergencies," Traver said in his statement. "We recommend anglers choose one of the many other bodies of water in the area that provide safe access for fishing."
