The Chemung County Sheriff's Office has had the opportunity to work with RSVP, and in doing so, a RSVP member works with the agency in producing identifications cards for employees and the general public.
"Combat Auto Theft Program" or (C.A.T.) allows seniors and others to register their motor vehicles with the Sheriff's Office and gives Law Enforcement permission to stop those vehicles between the hours of 1:00 A.M. and 5:00 A.M. Vehicles are identified by a decal that is issued to the registered owner once they have completed the application form.
