You know, like that good friend you have who works somewhere and they got your back? We usually have like zero expectations from PD or DMVs, but not here at NCPD. I did have to drop by a second time for my request, but it was for a valid reason like having expired passport. If you have everything they asked for, everything is good! They really seem like they love helping you. Oh, I think NCPD is closed on Fridays. It's better to check the times before dropping by. COVID related, they're having you wait outside, socially distanced, allowing 2 guests at a time, temperature measured at the entrance, sanitizer available at the entrance. Everyone is wearing a mask.

Hofstra and Adelphi and other Universities are here or nearby. It's a very dense suburb and really an extension of NYC. In some ways it's the capital of Long Island, in other ways it's like a less intense Queens or a more dense Staten Island. My friend lives here and we've shared a lot of food here over the years. Long Island food is underrated and enjoyable but nothing compared to Queens. The police here are sometimes very aggressive and protective, but it's still a great place to explore. Hempstead has almost a million people living in it - yes, one million. It's the 2nd largest city in NY and top 20 in the whole USA, except for the fact that it's not technically a city. But that's just a technicality. This is probably why there is so much to explore, to eat, and why it feels so dense here.

Thanks for being so kind and helpful to Andrea and I and helping us to get our Marriage License without an "incident". J Staff in this Marriage License Bureau are extremely helpful, sympathetic, caring and efficient. A+ experience. Hopefully, I won't have to return back again. ;-) - LOL!

I ran out of gas about a mile north of the LIE, and walked back to the LIE (minus my bike) to the Nassau Police officers that were standing by a fire. I asked for some assistance in getting a ride back to my bike with some gas, and they said that they'd be staying around the fire and that they couldn't leave. As soon as I filled up a gas can borrowed from a good samaritan (the attendant at the Mobil station refused to let me borrow a gas can), they had dissapeared without a trace. An older Fire Police gentleman gave me a ride back to my bike with some gas. Boo on Nassau PD for not helping a lady in distress.

Hi Folks, welcome to the Southern State Parkway. Located on Long Island, NY…read more I have now come to travel this roadway twice a day. There are things that Ive been noticing about this roadway more. I must update my review to issue some cautions. I travel mostly every major roadway on Long Island on a weekly basis, as a result I have an opportunity to compare different routes. There's something that stands out about the Southern State Parkway that is unique. Usually every roadway travels in a way that's equal to the terrain. In many spots to Southern State runs contrary to the natural lay of the land, especially on dangerous curves. I have noticed more and more memorials to young people who have crashed on this roadway from excessive speed or distractions. Southern State Parkway is not an easy Road way to travel. There are many low bridges, abrupt dangerous curves, mile-long funeral processions and... OMG!! Too many speeding jerks in hot souped up cars. Abruptly changing lanes without any signaling or having regard for their lives or others who must share the road with them. It seems to be getting worse by the day. I have a few for suggestions for folks keeping safer. Which would include ..Avoid this roadway entirely if possible. Keep to the right lane and go a little slower ( yes like an old man).. and let the jerks all pass you. I see more kids on this roadway in hot street racing cars zipping back and forth, then on any other roadway on Long Island. Together with the increasing roadside memoriams, it does concern me... I think I know why this problem exists specifically here. Why... I think I have a partial answer. Street racing has been glamorized by many shows and TV series. I have seen lots on cable. These shows are very cool. It's important to note that this racing is being done by "Really," experienced adults. Everyone wants a hot car when I was a kid I had a hot car. I had a bunch of hot cars. But I didn't race them. I felt I didn't have enough experience yet and there wasn't a professional track if I would feel safe on available to me. One equipped with Emergency apparatus and personnel, God forbid I messed up. Like the pros have. Some less experienced drivers today I have these hot Speedy cars but unfortunately not the driving experience to match their speed. So these cars jumping back and forth on Southern State Parkway, where are they going to? And where are they coming from? I work in the industrial park off Edison Avenue off of exit 35 on the Southern State Parkway. If I go home late in the evening on weekends I will find the road closed off by kids street racing up and down the streets. 6 weeks ago, I had to pull a whole bunch of kids out of wrecked flaming vehicles on Edison Avenue. I thank the Lord that I was put there at that specific moment. I am trained security officer and everyone was okay. This is not the first accident I have seen in this small 10 block Square. There are many spots in the roadways that are untravelable because of the deep ruts, grooves and tire slicks from the racing! You can see them over the entire stretch of the Edison avenue. Every week, stretches of fencing next to the cemetery that adjoins the roadway..are ripped open with headstones knocked down from the cars careening into the cemetery. The Southern State Parkway is the pathway to these events kids come in from the city and other areas. They travel to this famous and glamorized area. Too many have unfortunate results on the way. Perhaps this is a partial explanation. Please slow down don't practice for your racing on the way on the Southern state I hope some folks who make policy. NY. State troopers and Nassau/Suffolk County P.D. read this. Perhaps we can all help stop the heartbreaking weekly crashes on this roadway.

What's in a roadways name, I ask. If I'm pressed for time and/or if I'm stuck bumper to bumper,…read moreroadway names are meaningless. As long as I can make my commitment on time, preferring to be twenty minutes early too two minutes late, and/or make the trip somewhat unscathed from the stresses and drudgery heavy traffic induces, the roadways name could be The Rumplestilskin Junction, I care not. However, the flipside to what's in a roadways name when I'm not being pressed, not in traffic where my interest and curiosities are aroused as to whats to do, whats the history and in this example the roadways name provides indication of my location and that I do like. Unfortunately as time marches on with over population, emissions pollution and not feeling excited to jump in the automobile for another little adventure, the first example is most applicable. There just never seems to be a safe time during daylight to drive out east to explore a town, have a meal, frolick in the sand off an exit on the Southern State Parkway, so I steer clear. Not that the Long Island Expressway nor the Northern State are beacons of adventurous transportation hope, clearly not, but I dare say even those two tracks of typical New York disrepair give my a glimmer of hope to enjoy more of my day outside of my car than inside my car as I find myself when choosing to drive the Southern State Parkway.

Drucker, also noted, Nassau County Clerk Maureen O'Connell + NCPD 2nd & 8th Precincts Police Departments... Presented this family fair event at two locations-Syosset/Woodbury Community Park from 6-8 on Tuesday August 5th and at Bethpage High School 10 Cherry Avenue, Bethpage at 6:30pm -8:30pm. Both events had Live Music. In Syosset by 106 North and in Bethpage by Tom Chupka & Friends. The Syosset Park- event had various giveaways, treats and a variety of things to see and do there, including cotton Candy giveaways from Carnival Parties. At Cobs Bread Bakery booth yummy snacks were given out as well. I met Deputy Commissioner Jeffrey Sattali from the Nassau County Office of Emergency Management -OEM- I got a tour of their mobile van. Inside were multiple band radios for Emergency Management. Why a mobile unit? For big events as the Air Show at Jones Beach there are literally thousands of people, so the unit can be moved on location for possible needs. Giveaways here were, a CERT first aid kit (good in a car) and an infrared thermometer for the forehead to take temperature. There were various Military and Fire Department vehicles on display.(see pix) with charming, knowledgeable men explaining what they were and how they were used and yes women- one of whom I saw in an Army jeep. Party House in Woodbury is now the place to get party supplies, SPCA was there giving handouts on how to prepare before a disaster and with 2 working dogs (who love to be pet) , and there was a wonderful GS Police Officer dog on duty as well. A kids Bicycle raffle for a helmet along with bicycle safety were at one booth , A great sign done by the Interns was also on display, as were wehearyouli.org a nonprofit organization supporting families of children deaf or hard of-hearing, NY Literacy Project, and some businesses as Forging Fit with Personal Trainer Tommy DeChiaro, Rallye at rallye.com and Jersey Mikes team from their Hicksville location . A nice local event and something to look for next year.
