David Milner Dr. Scott Coyne Lake Success is protected by its own Police Department, which has a compliment of twenty-two police officers and three full time and four part time dispatchers under the command of a police chief. All personnel are selected from the Nassau County Civil Service lists. The department's primary function is to give the residents the highest quality of protection possible. Aside from emergency vehicles available from Nassau County Police, Lake Success has five patrol cars equipped with life-sustaining equipment such as a resuscitator, defibrillators, a portable inhalator, first-aid kits, blankets, traffic flares, etc. The main task performed by the police are traffic patrol, traffic supervision, juvenile programs, community relations and answering all calls for assistance. Criminal investigations are handled by Nassau County Detectives from the local precinct. All police personnel continue to receive additional training by attending seminars and other courses of study. The police department cooperates closely with other police departments, the Fire Department, the Mayor and Trustees, and the Village Court. Lake Success has recently instituted a program of identification. Children may be finger-printed at the police headquarters, and the set of prints are given to parents for safekeeping. Valuables such as jewelry, and works of art may also be marked with identification. These services are free for residents. Vehicle identification numbers are etched into the windows, if requested, also free for residents. An "Enhanced 911" telephone system is in place so that local residents can just dial from home "911" and get connected to the Village of Lake Success Police facility. The police department should be notified of any unlawful or suspicious activities observed in the Village. Call them whenever you plan to leave your home for an extended period. The number is (516)482-4600. Notify them who has emergency access to your home with key and alarm code information. The police department has a "State of the Art" monitoring station for security alarms. The individual resident may purchase from their own alarm company a system that contacts the Lake Success Police headquarters directly via telephone or radio signal. For prompt responses, these systems should be checked at least three times a year to verify that it functions correctly. Call the police department and give them your code before testing your connection. |
