Dear Alumni Members,
Here are the major October 2024 statistics for the 1st Precinct which held its community meeting on November 7, 2024:
370 arrests;
6 commercial burglaries, 3 in Deer Park;
6 residential burglaries;
4 robberies;
543 car crashes with 59 leaving the scene; 2 serious; and
13 motor vehicle thefts with 5 in West Babylon.
Inspector Brendan Forte, the 1st Precinct Commanding Officer, made remarks.
The Inspector said there have been 26,500 tickets issued in the Precinct this year, many for traffic violations, some with guns recovered as a result of the stops.
There have been 21 trigger pulls this year and luckily no one was killed.
There was a serious road rage incident that ended in a Route 109 parking lot with one of the drivers being run over and seriously hurt.
The residents were told that there are about 7,000 stop signs in the precinct and ways are being explored to reduce that number.
The next community meeting will be December 5, 2024 at the Lindenhurst Public Library. The time has not yet been announced. All residents are welcome.
Respectfully,
Justin Cooper
1st Precinct Coordinator
