New York State Police have opened a new barracks in Steuben County.
The new barracks at State Police Hornell will replace the existing facilities at SP Wayland and SP North Hornell. This transition is part of an ongoing effort to enhance public safety, improve operational efficiency, and better serve the communities of Steuben County and surrounding areas.
“The safety and security of our residents remain our top priority,” said Troop E Commander Major Kevin Sucher of the New York State Police. “By relocating to SP Hornell, we are ensuring that our troopers have the resources they need to serve the community effectively and uphold our commitment to public safety.”
The new SP Hornell barracks, strategically located to improve accessibility and response times, are equipped with modern facilities designed to support the evolving needs of law enforcement. The relocation allows troopers to operate from a more centralized and efficient base, strengthening their ability to respond swiftly to emergencies and provide proactive policing services.
Commander Sucker said the SP Wayland and SP North Hornell facilities have served the region for many years and will officially close as operations shift to the new Hornell location. He added that while this marks the end of an era for SP Wayland and SP North Hornell, the move represents a step forward in enhancing law enforcement capabilities and improving service to residents and visitors alike.
