WASHINGTON COUNTY, N.Y. — A $400,000 state grant is going to significantly enhance communication among police agencies in Washington County, allowing them to network their databases together so that they can more easily share information.

Washington County Sheriff Jeff Murphy said the Sheriff’s Office and five village police departments will be able to see each other’s call databases, which will greatly aid in investigations.
