OSWEGO – Mayor Billy Barlow announced that he and Oswego Police Chief Tory DeCaire will host two “Coffee with the Mayor and Police Chief” events at both the east and west side Dunkin Donuts in Oswego.
The focus of the planned events will be to provide an informal, comfortable setting for residents to raise their concerns, ask questions and provide suggestions to the mayor and police chief on the issues facing the community.
“Residents need their community leaders to be accessible and to understand what is occurring in our neighborhoods and on our streets every day. The best way to do that is to listen directly to the residents, face to face, and hear their concerns, understand their issues and consider their suggestions on how to make our neighborhoods and streets a safer place for all,” said Mayor Barlow. “This is an opportunity for residents to come visit and talk about any issue that may be on their mind. We will take the information we hear, and it will help us better serve our constituents.”
Chief DeCaire noted how helpful hearing the ideas and concerns directly from residents can be when patrolling the community.
The coffee hours will be an informal opportunity for residents to come and go as they please with no set agenda.
The location, date and times are as follows:
Thursday May 19, 9-11 a.m. – east side Dunkin Donuts – 105 State Route 104.
Thursday June 2, 9-11 a.m. west side Dunkin Donuts -255 W. Seneca St.

I Haagen been trying to get police presence up on Munn st since the detour has been in effect. The police chief and my alderman have been informed an know about the constant speeding. I have offered my driveway for police to sit in and use radar. Talked to the policeman in my driveway but still have yet get a response. I’m wondering what will happen when I show up with 9 wants to know. Just more smoke and mirrors. Don’t waste your time they don’t care.
Why not just open the doors of your office Mr. Mayor? That would be easier than having everyone run out to Dunkin Donuts. That would be the right thing to do or is this a way to charge for overtime.
