Welcome to the Hancock Police Department

Located at 85 East Front Street, Hancock, New York 13783, the Hancock Police Department is dedicated to serving and protecting the community with integrity and professionalism. As a key agency under the direction of the local legislative body, our department is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all residents and visitors in Hancock and the surrounding areas.

Our personnel department actively maintains current job opportunities for those interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement. We pride ourselves on transparency and accessibility, providing a range of services, information, documents, and forms online for the convenience of our community.

The Hancock Police Department works closely with members of the legislative body, who serve on the board and oversee various committees. These committees exercise supervisory authority over the operation of specific services, ensuring efficient and effective law enforcement and public safety measures.

We maintain an official record of the board of supervisors meetings, as well as public hearings where community members are encouraged to provide input on important legislative matters. Our commitment to transparency extends to our financial practices, with a clear record of income and expenditures for capital, equipment, and operations.

Situated in Delaware County, the largest and most western of the four counties in the Catskill Mountains, Hancock offers a plethora of outdoor activities, including hunting, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, horseback riding, and hiking. Separated from Pennsylvania by the Delaware River, our community boasts gentle mountains, river valleys, and reservoirs that provide endless opportunities for adventure and exploration.

At the Hancock Police Department, we are honored to serve such a vibrant and dynamic community. We invite you to explore our website for more information on our services and how we can assist you.
