4th precinct Inspector Regina ran the December meeting.
An instructor from the SCPD Emergency Medical Training Unit provided training to the community members attending on “Hands Only” CPR. It was an in-depth training session and we all learned a great deal. The lecture was very thorough and informative.
The Inspector then proceeded with the precinct meeting. He ran a PowerPoint presentation that showed among other things crime statistics in the precinct. He explained the trends for various crimes in the precinct.
In November once again the SITE team (which consists of highway patrol officers) assisted the precinct enforce traffic violations in certain areas. 79 moving violations and 7 non-moving violations were observed and 86 summonses were issued.
On 11-23-2024 4th precinct units responded to a report of a fight at the Smith Haven Mall. It began as a fight inside the mall and then moved outside where a 16 year old was stabbed. The male was transported to Stony Brook Hospital for treatment. 4th Squad detectives responded and are handling the investigation.
On 11-24-2024 4th precinct units responded to a report of a stabbing at Gino’s Pizza in Nesconset. A 60 year old victim was transported to Stony Brook Hospital for treatment. Officers quickly took into custody the suspect, who was a fellow employee of the business.
On 11-29-2024 4th precinct units responded to a report of youths fighting in the food court of the Smith Haven Mall. During the altercation a firearm fell out of the pocket of one of the subjects and slid across the floor. Officers immediately responded and the firearm was quickly recovered. A person of interest was later located at Dick’s Sporting Goods. He was ultimately charged by 4th Squad Detectives with CPW in the 2nd degree.
The next community meeting will be held on January 7th at the Smithtown Library Nesconset Building. The meeting begins at 7PM.
