Usually, the meeting is on the second Tuesday of the month, however November 7<\/strong><sup><strong>th<\/strong><\/sup><strong> is Election Day. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>** Command was not able to attend\/facilitate this particular meeting because of the protests in Oakdale.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A quick update on the county data breach, but they were tight lipped about it. They mentioned that the FBI and CIA are basically in charge of it at this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>October is <strong>Domestic Awareness Month<\/strong> \u2013 This was the theme of the entire meeting honestly. The meeting was run by Sgt. Kelly Hartill of the <em>Domesic Violence and Elder Abuse Bureau<\/em> and her team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is Domestic Violence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>People generally think of \u201cviolence\u201d as physical: However, it can come in the forms of physical, emotional, financial abuse etc.<\/li><li>Ultimately, abuse boils down to <strong>Power and Control<\/strong> of one person over another.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Orders of Protection<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Two types of Orders of Protection: a \u201cFull Stay Away\u201d and a \u201cRefrain From\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Full Stay Away \u2013 No communication, contact, interaction of any kind.<\/li><li>Refrain From \u2013 These orders stop certain acts, the most common one is drinking.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>** Sgt. Hartill and her team made sure to emphasize that there should always be an <strong>Advocate<\/strong> present when trying to obtain\/going over specifics of an order or protection. This can get very technical, and these people are provided and know all of the specifics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All orders must be <strong>Court Modified<\/strong>. A police officer has no authority to modify or interpret an order of protection. If an individual is in violation of the order, they are being arrested. There are no exceptions. An individual can advocate for themselves if they feel it was a valid violation, but that is in front of a judge. The judge has sole authority here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specifics on <strong>LEP<\/strong> (Limited English Persons) speakers came next. People are able to be provided language assistance in their primary tongue at no charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All statements are written in English, then translated back. Corrections can be made here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Domestic Incidents cannot be amended once signed. <\/strong>If someone later on wants to add something or change it after it\u2019s signed, a new incident report is filed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Danger Assessment Survey<\/strong> \u2013 This is tool which can be provided to evaluate if someone is at future risk for violence. This got technical. It asked very specific questions, and basically if someone scores a certain amount, they are at greater risk. I\u2019m sure this can be found online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LIADV (Long Island against domestic violence) Advocates <\/strong>\u2013 OK, there were a lot of different specific agencies: Too many to write. I\u2019m sure this is publicly available. They are made available at all 7 county precincts. I\u2019ve got a few here, I can provide the phone numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Victims Information Bureau of Suffolk 631-360-3606<\/li><li>LIADV 631-666-8833<\/li><li>VIBES \u2013 631-360-2606<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>** There is a virtual or in person Domestic Violence presentation on October 19<sup>th<\/sup>, 2022 at 3:30 PM at Suffolk County Community College. I\u2019ll provide the flyer in the email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There were a few other precinct notes as well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u201cLock it or Lose it\u201d campaign \u2013 In the 5<sup>th<\/sup>, theft and break ins have slowed down. They didn\u2019t provide exact numbers though.<\/li><li>Catalytic Converter theft \u2013 This is still a major issue. They\u2019ve had some arrests, but they\u2019re running into a major problem with the \u201cno bail\u201d condition. These people are back on the streets a few hours later with a summons that the police know they aren\u2019t going to show up for\u2026<\/li><li>Homeless outreach is in the same place as last month \u2013 providing services and resources to those who will take it. Having difficulty removing people from certain areas though (train stations)<\/li><li>School Zone violations \u2013 They didn\u2019t quantify it, but it was said that <strong>MANY<\/strong> summons have been written, and they aren\u2019t going to slow down on this until people get that they can\u2019t speed in a school zone.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>** <strong>19<\/strong> new police officers in the 5<sup>th<\/sup> precinct \u2013 most of them are off field training at this point, so there will be more police cars on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201c<strong>Shot Spotter\u201d<\/strong> is coming back into Suffolk County. (This is everywhere, not just the 5<sup>th<\/sup>.) These are the sensors on top of the poles which alert sector cars when a firearm is discharged. They have become extremely accurate (within 3 feet of where gun was fired) All caliber weapons can be picked up by this technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Body cameras are not in place yet, however the goal is before Halloween. They weren\u2019t willing to commit to a date with everything else going on in the county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legislator <strong>Dominick Thorne, <\/strong>from the 7<sup>th<\/sup> district, was in attendance and said a few words. Basically, asked if there were any problems locally, and no one had a response. Not much happening here. I\u2019m going to provide his card though. It has all of the county phone numbers on it. Useful stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sccpaaa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/e_1655.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"523\" height=\"697\" src=\"https:\/\/sccpaaa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/e_1655.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4841\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sccpaaa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/e_1655.jpg 523w, https:\/\/sccpaaa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/e_1655-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 523px) 100vw, 523px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>** Important Note \u2013 Next months community meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 15th.
