"There are individuals going around posing as Central Hudson workers and asking to get into houses to check electric and gas connections? There have been many reports in the county and we need to remind people that all Utility employees are required to carry and show ID when asked. Never let anyone into your residence unless you are 100% positive of their identity. If in doubt call the utility company before allowing anyone in your house."
- Paul Van Blarcum
Ulster County Sheriff
Paul's warning is a very important one that we should all heed. The Ulster County Sheriff's Office has a Facebook page and a Twitter feed for the most up to the minute information. Those who can should take advantage of these resources. I myself have already "liked" them on FB.
