4th precinct Inspector Regina ran the meeting along with Deputy Inspector Lawler.
The topic of the meeting was Public Service.
The first guest speaker for the evening was the Chief of Smithtown Public Safety. He explained that his department consists of Park Rangers, Harbormaster, Fire Prevention, Ordinances and the Department of Emergency Management.
The Village of Islandia Code Enforcement/Public Safety also had a representative that gave an overview of her department.
Inspector Regina and Deputy Inspector Lawler gave the residents a synopsis of some incidents that have ocurred in the precinct. The catalytic converter thefts continue to be problem not only in the precinct but nationwide. There were 49 thefts last month. They were able to make an arrest related to the thefts in Kings Park. They urged residents not to confront the thieves but to dial 911.
Street racers continue to be an issue. Last month there was an incident where racers jumped on a Sargent’s car and caused extensive damage when the Police attempted to break up the gathering in the vicinity of the L.I.E. and Ocean Avenue.
The next 4th precinct community meeting will be held December 6th.
