East Hampton Town Police Department, NY

📍 East Hampton Town Police Department, NY in Wainscott, New York is now live with Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) using ProQA!

With ProQA in place, East Hampton’s Emergency Dispatchers now have structured, evidence-based protocols guiding every call—helping them gather consistent, critical information and ensure first responders are equipped with what they need to deliver optimal care.

Emergency Dispatchers can also provide clear, potentially lifesaving instructions to callers during emergencies like cardiac events, falls, and strokes.

This go-live marks an exciting transition, as the agency moves from long-time use of EMD cardsets to ProQA software.

A special thank you to Supervisor Stephen Blanchard, who served as the primary point of contact and helped lead this successful implementation.

East Hampton Town Police Department, your dedication to preparedness and the people you serve does not go unnoticed. Your community is in good hands.

TRAFFIC SAFETY REMINDERS: With Memorial Day weekend upon us, please be patient and careful on our extremely heavily traveled roadways.

Slow down, use hands free devices, share the road and yield to cyclists and pedestrian traffic. Move over for emergency first responder lights. Yield to oncoming vehicles while passing cyclists or runners. Share the road!

Cyclists must travel with traffic and obey the rules of the road. Runners & walkers use sidewalks and shoulders when possible, go against traffic if on the roadway, and keep one ear bud out so you can stay alert to vehicles.

When entering crosswalks please be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to traffic. Vehicles must yield to pedestrians within crosswalks, but do not just walk out in front of vehicles from the curb without gauging traffic.

E- Bikes and E- scooters are not allowed on any sidewalks. Wear a helmet and obey state & county laws.

As always, don't drink & drive, designate a drive or use taxis and ride share services.

Our population triples during the summer months, please help us keep the roads and our community safe.
