1. Auburn Man Charged After Dangerous Oswego Chase (fingerlakesdailynews.com) — Police say a driver led a late-night high-speed chase through downtown Oswego, forcing officers to halt the pursuit and focus on protecting pedestrians before finally arresting the suspect at Byrne Dairy. Multiple agencies, including Oswego Police and the Oswego County Sheriff’s Office, coordinated to end the incident safely, and investigators are still seeking any additional information or video from witnesses. 
2. $14.9 million awarded for Oswego Harbor breakwater repairs (cnycentral.com) — Oswego Harbor is getting $14.9 million in federal funding to repair key sections of its East and West breakwaters, with construction starting this summer and continuing through 2028. The work will keep the navigation channel open while shoring up aging structures that protect commercial and recreational boat traffic. Officials say the upgrades support safety and the harbor’s role in the regional economy.

Oswego County TodayMexico High School Stages Mock DWI To Emphasize Spring, Event Season Safety (oswegocountytoday.com) — Mexico High School students in Oswego County recently staged a realistic mock DWI crash, trial, and funeral to drive home the dangers of impaired driving during prom season. Local agencies from across Oswego County joined in, giving teens and first responders powerful, hands-on safety training.
5. A Syracuse University DPS officer decertified after misconduct was hired again and again (centralcurrent.org) — Oswego County residents should know a previously decertified Syracuse University public safety officer was hired, then later dismissed, as a corrections officer at the Oswego County Sheriff’s Office after incomplete training and performance issues.
