The Inspector talked about the rise in thefts from drug and other chain stores.  Police have been giving tips to the employees about ways to safeguard their merchandise.

It was disclosed that the precinct is using an advanced radar system to combat the speeding problem.  More than 20,000 traffic tickets have been issued in 2023 for various infractions.

Squatters and illegal renting are a top priority.  The precinct is working with the town of Babylon to try to remedy the problem with code enforcement.
