The Rosendale Police Department has initiated its Operation Locate Program. The program was designed to assist in locating lost children. Any child under the age of 10 can have a picture ID made. This ID then can be carried on his/her person. In the event he/she becomes lost or disoriented the ID will have an assigned number and anyone coming in contact can call the Rosendale Police. The Police Department can then notify the parent or guardian. This program can also assist Seniors or persons who have medical conditions. For more information contact the Police Department at 658-3159 during business hours.
