Amanda Purcell is reporting for Columbia-Greene Media Hudson Police Commissioner Martha Harvey has resigned. Mayor Tiffany Martin Hamilton on Mon., Aug. 21, confirmed that she received Harvey’s resignation Friday. “Commissioner Harvey has resigned because she is relocating to Albany,” Hamilton said. “I have no immediate plans to replace her.” Hamilton's two-year term ends Dec. 31. She is not seeking re-election. Hudson Police Chief Edward Moore said the vacancy should not have a major impact on the department. “It’s (the commissioner’s role) a function of city government and we are grateful for the time and effort that Commissioner Harvey spent,” Moore said. The Commissioner of Police is the head of the city's Police Department, and serves at the pleasure of the mayor. Harvey was appointed commissioner in September, replacing Gary Graziano. Graziano resigned Sept. 16, as the result of fallout over his comments concerning the arrest of a Hudson community leader. Read the full story at HudsonValley360 [dot] com.
