This is not a complete list. My daughter's car had it's rear window broken Thursday night and the police officer said there was another one on Carmans Road and one on Lake Shore. Whoever is doing this should be caught and locked up.

They need to catch these losers first. I don't know how many times I have wrote on the pages about more patrol cars in the back streets doing patrol rather than parked at the firehouses, Lirr stations, Tob bldg on Carmen's road and many, other locations to long to list. This is a slap in the face to everyone who lives here. Does anyone know if the 7th pct has a community meeting? Something needs to be done, because Nassau 7th can't handle it , which is A joke. This is the suburbs , if they can't handle this then they shouldn't be cops.

Ed, unlike the city where the cops don't get any respect like they deserve from the community they serve or the City or Department they serve, Nassau does get that and is paid higher for doing a much less dangerous job that they aren't able to handle.Their Department and community has backed them up for years and what has that gotten us? Most of them don't do what is needed from a police officer and it is hurting a community that has been a great place to live. They need some good supervisors who know how to get things done.I feel bad for the officers from Nassau who do their job everyday and aren't a bunch of do nothing's., it must be hard to work with a bunch of zeros.

Massa: I've been told that, because of the relatively low crime rate, the 7th precinct does not attract the brightest bulbs in the pack. The sharpest cops are needed and willing to serve Hempstead, Freeport, Roosevelt, Elmont, Levittown (to name a few). The odds of receiving a promotion are greater in a high-risk neighborhood. Those not willing to take the strong risk would rather serve in towns like Massapequa, Seaford, Wantagh, Merrick, Syosset (to name a few). My brother served Suffolk County (the highest paid) and those were his words when he graduated 1st in his class at the Academy. He chose Patchogue...that was the worst in those days (next to Wyndanch). He left a few years ago, having been promoted several times to Lieutenant...at full wage rate...with benefits for a lifetime!

Massa, city cops are less qualified...they have no background check, many have prior arrests, and there is no polygraph. You sound like a bitter city cop who couldn't get on Nassau or Suffolk since all your posts relate to bashing either department.

Concerned you are clueless...police are promoted by exam. Not by where they work
