KINGSTON – Ulster County Sheriff Juan Figueroa says his office is working with Kingston City Police to put a lid on problems at the city’s Linear Park.
Loitering and drug overdoses have occurred recently, causing law enforcement to clamp down on the facility.
The sheriff told the Law Enforcement Committee of the county legislature on Tuesday that criminal activity will not be tolerated
“If someone is committing, that is obviously not the intent of shutting the park down. The purpose is to kind of put at ease the folks who have been making complaints of people who were loitering, and obviously the overdose situation that was going on down there,” he said.
The sheriff said his office is working with the city police, the county executive, and the county Department of Mental Health concerning the issues at the park.
