performance of their duties; and
WHEREAS, In 1973 the police chiefs and commanders of Ulster County law
enforcement met in a small New Paltz restaurant to form the Ulster Coun-
ty Police Chiefs Association; their vision was to foster closer profes-

erative and unified interaction among law enforcement throughout Ulster
