Dear Alumni Members,

Here are the major October 2025 statistics for the 1st Precinct which held its community meeting on November 6, 2025:

• 398 arrests;
• 4 commercial burglaries;
• 3 residential burglaries, all unoccupied;
• 2 robberies;

542 car crashes with 54 leaving the scene, 6 serious injuries; and

8 motor vehicle thefts, 6 where the key was left in the ignition.

Inspector Brendan Forte, the 1st Precinct Commanding Officer, conducted the meeting.  The Inspector said that thus far this year in the Precinct there have been 21,000 tickets issued, 3,500 arrests, and 4,800 accidents.  Police have been focusing on moving violations in certain areas.

There was a shooting incident in North Amityville where one youth killed another youth in a negligent act.

Inspector Forte briefly talked about the knife homicide in West Babylon a few days ago which drew large media coverage.  About 100 high schoolers, mostly not invited, crashed the party.  A fight between two groups took place resulting in the fatal stabbing.  The owner of the house has been charged under the social host law by allowing liquor to be used by minors and not doing anything to control the situation.

Police Latino Liaison Officer Yasmin T. Gallant from the Office of the Commissioner briefly spoke.  She said the Department does not work with ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and residents should not be afraid to seek police assistance.

The next community meeting will be December 4, 2025.  The time and place will be announced.  All residents are welcome.
