Attention Goshen Residents

OK folks. Somehow, someway, someone managed to drive off the new blacktopped pavement on Route 17A and cross the white fog line and continue off the pavement and drive direction into a utility pole. It takes some kind of special skill to accomplish this in broad daylight.

Soooooo……….

We want to inform you about a significant incident on Route 17A. Earlier today, a driver lost control and crashed into a utility pole, resulting in extensive damage. This pole is crucial as it supplies utilities to many local households.

Due to the presence of nearby gas lines and downed electrical wires, Route 17A will be closed for an extended period while we assess the situation and ensure safety. We urge everyone to avoid the area if possible and take alternate routes.

Our officers are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the driver’s actions. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to resolve this matter.

Stay safe, and thank you for your attention!

National Night Out 2026

08/05/2026

At the Town of Goshen Police Department’s National Night Out event, Orange County DA David Hoovler had a memorable moment with Chief Post. While trying to capture photos with all the police chiefs at 13 events around the county, he ended up sitting for a 20-minute caricature session instead! Here, they proudly show off the awesome sketch.

The chief wants to know if he really looks like that.
