HPD would like to thank the NYSP, BCI unit, and the Columbia County District Attorney’s
Office for their assistance and collaboration throughout this case. “Keeping our community safe
requires us all working together. We will continue working alongside local agencies, community
partners, and residents to address acts of violence” --Chief Franklin
Meanwhile, for the past several months our so-called Police Chief Mishanda Franklin has been making sure that her department takes responsibility of all parking matters in Hudson, EXACTLY what her predecessor, during his final council report two years ago, warned the council that HPD should not be doing. Well, a lawless Hudson where someone doing their laundry might be killed by a gang of youth should come as no surprise. Get those kiosks in the Amtrak lot as soon as possible, Mishanda, and start collecting all the money the city has been missing out on! Get your clerk to be the Parking Supervisor, she's got plenty of free time to handle two positions at once since there is no violence or gangs to worry about in Hudson anymore! Don't concern yourself with violent street gangs and law enforcement or keeping us safe. That's not where the money or the fun is!
