SPEAKER(S):
Sheriff Carl DuBois, in office for 9 years, is a strong believer in sharing resources and consolidating services.  The county works hard on counter-terrorism protection;  it is a monumental task because of the amount of people who come in and out of the county via train and bridges.  Sheriff DuBois shared many facts about Orange County:
 
* 42 municipalities
* 31 police departments, 18 full time
* 17 school districts
* 110 schools (not including admin buildings)
* 1,500 school bus routes 
* 65,000 students 
* 36-48 freight trains pass thru daily
* 372,000 residents
* Hudson River traffic is mostly fuel transport
