What We Cover
A record of what happens in our county, kept in plain sight.
Erie County Blotter provides timely public safety, emergency, and community information throughout Erie County and across Western New York.
Our coverage includes significant police, fire, and EMS incidents; traffic accidents and major road closures; severe weather and emergency alerts; missing and endangered persons; official law enforcement media releases; animal welfare, rescue, and wildlife concerns; and other developing situations that may affect the safety of our communities.
We also highlight important community resources, first responder news, public safety campaigns, mental health and crisis resources, charitable efforts, and positive stories of neighbors helping neighbors.
Our goal is not to simply report every call that occurs, but to share relevant, verified, and meaningful information that helps keep Western New York informed, prepared, and connected.
Erie County Blotter is independently operated and is not an official law enforcement, fire, EMS, or government agency.
