Strategic Deployment Unit

Overview

The Strategic Deployment Unit is comprised of one Lieutenant, two Sergeants, 26 uniformed Albany Police Officers and 6 New York State Troopers temporarily assigned under the IMPACT program.  The members of the Strategic Deployment Unit maintain a flexible schedule and are divided into two groups, the Focused Mobile Interdiction and the Foot/Bike Patrol.  Both parts work together to maintain the primary focus of providing the citizens of Albany with a highly visible proactive unit capable of addressing a wide variety of concerns ranging from the fundamental values of community policing to providing a large-scale supportive role in response to major crimes of incidents.
