Lieutenant Ryan Macherone with the Schenectady Police Department said it’s an exciting time of year the officers look forward to.
“We started with just a few officers going out and trying to deliver candy at a couple different spots throughout the city. It’s now grown into seven spots throughout the city,” said Macherone. “As we were thinking of different ways to innovate this transfinder came to us last year and said why don’t we use the technology that we are using to help the police officers everyday to help show where the parade is so people can follow it in real time.”
