Wemple Rd in Glenmont has reopened.

Congratulations to the Bethlehem Eagles baseball team on capturing the Section 2 Class AA title with a 6-3 win over Mohonasen!!!

An underdog run, a total team effort, and another championship for Bethlehem. Well done to the players, coaches, and everyone who supported them along the way. BPD is proud to celebrate this great accomplishment with our community.

Bethlehem beats Mohonasen, secures Section 2 Class AA baseball title Bethlehem (13-12) advances to the Class AA state playoffs on Saturday.

May wrapped up as another busy month for BPD.

From calls for service to traffic safety, investigations, and community response, our officers, dispatchers, and civilian staff stayed hard at work serving Bethlehem.

Some calls are about more than just taking a report.

Last week, Sergeant Dring met Mary, a 90-year-old resident who was outside trying to trim dead branches from her tree. After taking a few minutes to help her out, they spent some time talking and enjoying a simple, positive moment in the community.

It’s often the small things that make the biggest difference. Thank you, Sergeant Dring, for representing BPD well.

During Pride Month, the Bethlehem Police Department reaffirms our commitment to serving and protecting all members of our community with professionalism, respect, and impartiality. We are dedicated to building trust, fostering positive relationships, and ensuring that every person feels safe and supported.

Happy Pride Month.

Today, members of the Bethlehem Police Department conducted a seatbelt enforcement detail in partnership with the New York State Police, New York State Park Police, and plainclothes investigators from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles.

This detail was part of the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee’s statewide seatbelt enforcement initiative, which runs from May 18 through May 31, 2026.

Seatbelts save lives. Buckling up is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect yourself and your passengers every time you get behind the wheel. Drive safe, Bethlehem.

A sincere thank you to Kathleen Kuhn and the team at START Children’s Center for stopping by during Police Week and dropping off a generous basket of snacks and treats for our officers.

We are grateful for your continued partnership with the Bethlehem Police Department and the Child Advocacy Center. Your dedication to supporting children and families during difficult times makes a meaningful difference, and we truly appreciate the strong relationship we share in serving our community.

Today, members of the Bethlehem Police Department were proud to take part in the Memorial Day Parade and stand alongside our community in honoring the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Thank you to everyone who came out, participated, and helped make today’s parade a meaningful tribute. We are grateful for the opportunity to remember, reflect, and honor together as a community.

This Memorial Day, the Bethlehem Police Department joins our community in honoring and remembering the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Their courage, dedication, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

We wish everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.
