Suffolk County, NY - December 30, 2016 - “It’s important that the Suffolk County Police Department ensure a safe night as people ring in the New Year. The department is taking a number of steps to keep our communities secure. Enhanced police patrols and specialized units will provide increased enforcement and high-visibility checks at large gatherings and special events, as well as checks at transportation facilities.

We want everyone in Suffolk County to enjoy their festivities. To keep the roads safe, we will be out in full force targeting those who drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

This weekend, please have fun, be safe, and don't drink and drive.

Happy New Years from all of us at the Suffolk County Police Department.”
