After you exit the Brewster US 6 US 202 NY 22 exit from Route I-684 northbound, or Route 84 East or Westbound, you will be on East Main Street (marked as Rte 6 and 202). As you head towards the Village of Brewster, you will pass a Mobil Gas Station on the left, the Bull and Barrel restaurant, also on the left. At that point you are at the crest of a hill. Lurking at the bottom of the crest, in the left hand parking lot at the Main Street (a right) and South 22 ‘T’ junction will usually be a Brewster Village Police Department car. They exist for ONE reason – to write tickets. This so-called “police department” defers actual law enforcement to the Putnam County Sheriffs Department and NY State Police.

Not a day goes by that the Brewster Village Police Department is not writing tickets and residents are disgusted that their town is nothing more than a speed trap that raises revenue for the tiny village.

They will also sometimes lurk on side streets just before Bull and Barrel, even further extending their range beyond the Village of Brewster.
