Rep. Pat Ryan, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New York’s 18th district, shared updates on recent developments via social media. The tweets focus on initiatives aimed at enhancing public safety and community support within Dutchess County and Poughkeepsie.

On November 20, 2024, Rep. Ryan announced the establishment of a Real-Time Crime Center in Dutchess County. He stated that "The Real-Time Crime Center will bring data-driven crime response & prevention to Dutchess County - it will be an absolute game-changer for public safety." He expressed pride in collaborating with partners across various government levels to advance this initiative.

Later that day, Rep. Ryan highlighted the role of Family Services Inc., known as @FSI411 on social media, in supporting Poughkeepsie families through its Partnership Center. He noted the allocation of significant funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to enhance these efforts: ".@FSI411 has forged a critical support system that uplifts Poughkeepsie families at its Partnership Center." The funding includes $5 million celebrated recently and an additional $1 million secured earlier by Rep. Ryan.

In a subsequent tweet posted almost simultaneously, Rep. Ryan expressed gratitude for working alongside community partners and officials to secure necessary funds for these projects: "I’m grateful to have worked alongside community partners & officials at every level of government to secure these funds." He reaffirmed his commitment to advocating for resources needed for ongoing restoration efforts and supporting Family Services' work in the community.
