Senator Fahy Announces $50,000 for Albany Law Enforcement Resolution Team (ALERT) Partnership
ALBANY, N.Y. – Senator Patricia Fahy announced today that $50,000 in operating grant funds between 2025 and 2026 were secured through her office for the Albany Law Enforcement Resolution Team (ALERT) Partnership. Founded by Pastor David Traynham, ALERT focuses on building a collaborative relationship between the community and law enforcement with the objective of creating a peaceful, strong region. ALERT opens doors for police and residents to engage in positive dialogue, connecting community members with those who can address their concerns.
ALERT hosts a yearly Bridge Builders Award Ceremony where they acknowledge and honor the efforts of the community, police, and law enforcement who foster positive relationships. In 2025, they also hosted a Community Leader, Police, and Law Enforcement Summit featuring breakout sessions fostering meaningful dialogue and creating relationships that could last beyond the initial meetings. Most recently, ALERT hosted the 2026 Unite the County Carnival at MVP Arena over the summer. Bringing together families, local law enforcement, military personnel, and first responders, the event was an opportunity for the community to foster relationships in a fun environment.
