Thank you for your submission to SeeClickFix. The Beat Officer assigned to the area is Sal Sturiale. I will alert officer Sturiale to your complaint as well as patrol. You can contact Officer Sturiale directly at SSturiale@albanyny.gov with any further information. You can also call Police Dispatch at (518) 438-4000 at the time this activity is observed so a police unit can be dispatched to better assist you.

We have seen a significant increase over the past year with these vehicles and various activity involving them. We are planning and strategizing to better combat this problem as we prepare for the warmer months. Any additional information you can provide is helpful. Description of the driver, description of the vehicle, license plate # if there is one, location vehicles are kept or where they may gather, if known, etc. We are not asking you to seek out this information, only to provide it if known or observed. Thank you.

This issue has been extremely serious for years, not just over the past year, and it continues year round not just the warmer months. It's an issue that requires a response now and is so prevalent officers merely need to be present on the roads to see and hear it for themselves. Unfortunately, we observe how often offcers ignore the illegal behavior right in front of them and what became of all the information, descriptions, license plates, photos and videos that have already been provided to APD regarding the motorcycles, motorbikes and ATVs?

Thank you for using this application to report an issue in the City of Albany. Please know that the report was received by the appropriate department. We apologize for the delay in responding to this issue on this application, however our priority is to resolve the issue in person and due to reduced workforce the online complaints are not always closed out in a timely manner. Currently the Albany Police Dept. does not pursue mini bikes or ATV's. The Common Council passed legislation that consisted of a $650.00 fine for riding one within the City and another $2,350.00 fine to get the bike out of impound, after proof of registration and ownership has been proven. This issue is finding where the illegal bikes are located, so with that being said a TIPLINE/HOTLINE was established for residents to call in anonymously and say where the bikes are stored or coming from (518)462-1818. We appreciate your patience.
