MidHudson News is reporting several local police departments were called out to the Brookwood Secure Center for Youth in Claverack to restore peace, during the early afternoon of Sept. 15. According to the New York State Police, law enforcement gained control of the situation and the facility was secured. Three staff members suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to Columbia Memorial Hospital for treatment. None of the residents were injured. The city of Hudson Police Department, Chatham Police Department, Greenport Police Department,  and other police departments and EMS agencies assisted at the scene. The investigation is ongoing, according to the State Police, and will be updated as soon as additional information becomes available. The Brookwood Center on Spook Rock Road is operated by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services and houses male and female youths, who, while under the age of 16, and now 16 and 17 years of age, were convicted and sentenced in adult criminal court or family court as part of the Raise the Age legislation. Depending upon the sentence, youth may remain in OCFS custody until they are 21 years of age. Read the full story at MidHudsonNews [dot] com.
