Dear Alumni Members,
Here are the major May 2024 statistics for the 1st Precinct which held its meeting on June 6, 2024:
416 arrests;
4 commercial burglaries;
2 residential burglaries;
0 robberies;
525 car crashes with 64 leaving the scene; 1 fatality;
8 stolen vehicles with 3 for unauthorized use; and
3 shootings, 2 resulting in arrests.
Deputy Inspector Paul Hyland, the 1st Precinct Executive Officer, made the presentation.
Here are the notable comments:
Violent crime is down approximately 30% in the Precinct thus far this year.
Inspector Hyland said that there are target locations in the Precinct based on current statistics. One such target resulted with the recovery of a large amount of illegal drugs and a handgun being seized. One officer was injured in the operation.
Two officers from the Behavioral Health Unit stated that the team is now three years old and has handled 800 cases since its inception. The unit gets involved in mental health issues from the very initial call and works with Family Service League to help individuals get needed treatment. The 24-hour DASH (Diagnostic, Assessment, and Stabilization Hub) phone number is 631-952-3333.
The date of the next community meeting will be announced in the near future. All residents are welcome.
Respectfully,
Justin Cooper
1st Precinct Coordinator
