The New York State Consumer Protection Board’s (CPB) “Consumer Protection Alerts” provide consumers with notices of new important product recalls, the latest scams, security/data breaches affecting New Yorkers as reported to the Agency by breaching entities, as well as additional updates on how consumers can make more informed decisions in the marketplace.

The CPB, established in 1970 by the New York State Legislature, is the State's top consumer watchdog and think tank in the Executive branch. The CPB's core mission is to protect New Yorkers by publicizing unscrupulous and questionable business practices and product recalls; conducting investigations and hearings; enforcing the Do Not Call law; researching issues; developing legislation; creating consumer education programs and materials; responding to individual marketplace complaints by securing voluntary agreements; and, representing the interests of consumers before the Public Service Commission (PSC) and other State and federal agencies.

The CPB advocates for and empowers New York consumers with information, and, consistent with its mission, believes that providing the public with Consumer Protection Alerts will help prevent or mitigate the harmful consequences from unsafe products, scams, security/data breaches and other consumer issues.

The CPB welcomes feedback and ideas from our followers. However, we will not respond to any messages we receive via Twitter. If you wish to contact the CPB or file a complaint, please direct your communication through our website at www.nysconsumer.gov.

TransAlerts are short electronic messages sent by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) via the New York State Emergency Management Office's NY-ALERT system. TransAlerts are sent to subscribers informing them, in near real-time, of significant transportation-related incidents occurring on major highways and the greater transportation network in the state. TransAlerts can be delivered as e-mails or as text messages to cell phones.

TransAlerts are issued only for the most serious and unexpected events that have a high degree of impact on travel. This can include incidents on highway, rail or aviation systems. TransAlerts contain information about the nature of an incident, its location and additional important information to the traveling public. The Department updates TransAlerts during the course of an incident, as necessary, and will inform subscribers when an incident has been cleared.

NYSDOT believes that by providing the public with current and accurate information about the transportation network, the safety, reliability, and efficiency of personal and commercial travel in New York State can be enhanced.

The New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services uses NY-ALERT to send New Yorkers notices – via e-mail, text message, fax or telephone – whenever a moderate or high-risk sex offender listed on the public subdirectory of the New York State Sex Offender Registry moves to, or from, a community of interest to them and their family.

Individuals can register to receive relocation notices through NY-ALERT for Level 2 (moderate risk) and Level 3 (high risk) sex offenders. Individuals can register up to three areas, either by county/municipality, zip code or specific address, or any combination of those three options, for which they would like to receive sex offender relocation alerts. If a specific address is selected, a radius around that address, ranging from a quarter-mile to 25 miles, also must be selected.

Sex offender relocation notices will be triggered when addresses are changed for Level 2 and 3 sex offenders listed on the registry’s public subdirectory, which is part of the DCJS website (http://www.criminaljustice.state.ny.us/nsor/search_index.htm). Registry staff process address changes within 24 hours of receipt, Monday through Friday, during regular business hours.

The law allowing the state to provide relocation alerts excludes Level 1 (low risk) sex offenders and offenders whose risk level is pending. By law, the state can only provide information about low-risk offenders or those with a pending risk level through a toll-free number (1-800-262-3257).

The New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services is a multi-function criminal justice support agency with a variety of responsibilities, including collection and analysis of statewide crime data; operation of the DNA databank and criminal fingerprint files; administration of federal and state criminal justice funds; support of criminal justice-related agencies across the state; and administration of the state’s Sex Offender Registry.
