The Inspector talked about the incident in the vicinity of the Regal Cinema at the Tanger Outlets in Deer Park.  A group of young people got into a fight where a knife was used.  The rumble was put under control by a swift police response.  Several arrests have been made and the matter is still under investigation.

It was disclosed that there have been 101 DWI arrests in the Precinct this year.

Several residents voiced concern about quality of life issues in their neighborhoods.  The Inspector said that police are targeting the problem areas.

3rd Police Precinct Meeting opened at 07:12 pm on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at the BayShore / Brightwaters Library, 1 S Country Road, Brightwaters

Next Meeting: Tuesday, June 3, 2025, 7 pm at the Brentwood Public Library, 34 Second Avenue, Brentwood

The meeting was well attended (approximately 75 people) and 12 officers + Auxiliary.

Inspector Dave Regina opened the meeting, welcomed everyone, and explained the format. It’s the same format, but with a slightly different presentation to help explain what’s happening in the 3rd Precinct. Dave will also add more details to the discussions.

– Dave reviewed his work history for the people not at the April meeting and then had Deputy Inspector Mike Kelly do the same.

– 3rd Precinct Year To Date Crime Summary Stats Presented

              Overall numbers for crime are down.

              Specific local issues are being addressed via this meeting and COPE efforts.

              Robberies are up slightly this year, 6 to date as opposed to 4 last year.

– E-bikes are becoming more of a problem, and there have been more crashes involving them with pedestrians.  A definition of the classes of E-bikes was shown, and a reminder that you must be 16 to ride an E-bike.

– There have been two murders in the 3rd Precinct to date

              The first involved a shooting at a party.

              The second resulted when officers responded to a welfare check – A man suffering from severe depression attacked with two knives.  When repeated demands to drop the weapon were unheeded and the man kept menacing, the officers were forced to fire.

– A motor vehicle/pedestrian accident occurred when a pedestrian tried to cross Pine Aire Drive, not at a signal or using a crosswalk, and was struck by a garbage truck, receiving serious injuries.  This shows the need for both drivers and pedestrians to be aware, and pedestrians need to realize they are responsible for their actions in obeying traffic rules as well.  Pedestrians do not have the right of way, but rather only in crosswalks, which is an educational issue.  There have been three pedestrian fatalities this year to date.

– A dog bite incident in Bay Shore resulted in the victim receiving severe facial lacerations.  The dog was euthanized as a result.  Owners need to control their pets to avoid these incidents

– A call turned out to be Carbon Monoxide poisoning that required the victims to be transported to a hyperbaric chamber facility for treatment.

– There has been an effort to clamp down on distracted driving with 454 summonses.  Please drive carefully.

– A task force is working in Suffolk County to address the street takeovers by car groups.

              Since inception, they have broken up 26 events, issued 3482 summonses, made 22 arrests, and impounded 37 vehicles.

– A wall of honor has been instituted at Islip High School for First Responders, Ambulance, Police, and Firefighters, who have gone above and beyond their tasks.

– NYS Law Enforcement Recognition Awards took place on April 30 in Albany, hosted by Stop DWI, MADD, and the NYS Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee

– A report of an assault by four people on 2 was reported at the Roberto Clemente Park on May 2

– On May 3, a man was fatally stabbed at Railroad Plaza in Bay Shore, not a random attack

Suffolk County PD is calling for volunteers to become Auxiliary Police Officers (APOs). These people help in many non-enforcement activities, thus freeing officers for more critical calls.

– The audience was urged to support the New York State Deadly Driving Bill

              This bill would make it easier for Officers to make arrests for people driving under the influence of narcotics.  Presently, an Officer must name the suspected drug in order to arrest.  Most States have already passed this legislation.

The Behavioral Health Section reported on what they are doing and have accomplished. Their goal is to assist in calls for overdose or mental health issues, freeing officers and bringing needed health services to bear on situations without arrests.
