We’re excited to share some great news with the Cheektowaga community!The Cheektowaga Police Department was fortunate to acquire a Hagglunds tracked vehicle through the federal 1033 Program. This specialized vehicle will be available for use during significant snow events, severe weather, and other emergencies when normal emergency vehicles may have difficulty traveling.Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, including Derrick Manufacturing, along with the hard work and dedication of our Cheektowaga police officers, the Hagglunds has been painted and outfitted for department use ahead of the upcoming winter season.The Hagglunds is designed to operate in a variety of challenging conditions, including snow, ice, standing water, mud, sand, gravel, and asphalt. It can also accommodate up to 17 people, making it a valuable resource for emergency transportation and response.During severe weather conditions, the vehicle will primarily be used to assist with emergency response, transport residents and emergency personnel when needed, and help our community navigate situations where traditional vehicles may not be able to safely travel.We are grateful to Derrick Manufacturing and everyone who helped prepare this vehicle for service. We’re proud to add this resource to our emergency response capabilities and look forward to putting it to work when our community needs it most.Stay safe this winter, Cheektowaga! 🚔❄️ ...

Stop for school buses!!!! Many students rely on school buses to get them to and from school safely.Did You Know: School buses are the most regulated vehicles on the road; they’re designed to be safer than passenger vehicles in preventing crashes and injuries; and in every state, stop-arm laws exist to protect children from other motorists.If you are driving, remember these simple rules:-Yellow flashing lights indicate the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. You should slow down and prepare to stop your vehicle.-Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate the bus has stopped and children are getting on or off. You must stop your car and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving, before you can start driving again.-Even when lights aren’t flashing, watch for children, particularly in the morning or mid-afternoon, around school arrival and dismissal times. -Be alert as you back out of a driveway, or drive through a neighborhood, school zone or bus stop.Parents - talk bus safety with your children:Your child should arrive at the bus stop at least 5 minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive. Teach them to play it SAFE:-Stay at least ten feet — five giant steps — away from the curb.-Always wait until the bus comes to a complete stop and the bus driver signals for you to board.-Face forward after finding a seat on the bus.-Exit the bus after it stops and look left-right-left for cars before crossing a street. ...
