Dear Alumni Members,
Here are the major April 2024 statistics for the 1st Precinct which held its meeting on May 2, 2024:
417 arrests with 30 for possession of controlled substances;
3 commercial burglaries;
7 residential burglaries;
2 robberies;
495 car crashes with 60 leaving the scene, 2 with serious injuries;
5 gun arrests;
1 shooting; and
60 calls from Tanger Outlets.
Lieutenant Joe Zurl of the 1st Precinct introduced himself and made the presentation. The Lieutenant has an impressive record in law enforcement.
Here are notable comments:
Thirty-four new officers are being assigned to the Precinct.
The Lieutenant advised the residents to tell their children not to send images of the children’s private parts to anyone as the images always get reposted.
He also said that there was a problem with illegal street takeovers by 50-100 cars with young drivers.
One newsworthy event was a man jumping from a third floor building in Wyandanch to escape arrest. He was apprehended with serious injuries.
The Lieutenant also said that school crossing guards are needed and residents should apply.
The next community meeting will be June 6, 2024 at a time and place to be announced. All residents are welcome.
Respectfully,
Justin Cooper
1st Precinct Coordinator
