The Nassau County Legislature unanimously voted on January 27 to approve an intermunicipal agreement with the Town of Oyster Bay that will allow for the installation of license plate readers at 10 major Jericho intersections.
The 20 license plate readers, which were purchased using a $250,000 grant secured by New York State Assemblymember Chuck Lavine (D-Glen Cove) will be installed at the following intersections in accordance with a 10-year license grant between the county and the town:
- Robbins Lane at Ellen Place
- Robbins Lane at Lydia Place
- Robbins Lane at Freedom Drive
- Robbins Lane at Birchwood Park Drive
- North Service Road at Open Street
- North Service Road at Placid Street
- Birchwood Park Drive at Village Drive
- Hazelwood Drive at Market Street
- Jericho Turnpike at Merry Lane
- Jericho Turnpike at Marian Lane
“By embracing cutting-edge technology and continuing to make routine investments in our police officers and law enforcement infrastructure, Nassau County is positioning itself to remain the safest municipality of its size in America,” Deputy Minority Leader Drucker (D-Plainview) said. “I thank Assemblymember Lavine for securing the state funding that will fund this project, and I am proud to support an initiative that will help our outstanding police officers protect the public, bring criminals to justice, and help them locate vulnerable missing persons.”
“I am proud to have secured the state funding to support this project in its entirety which uses the latest technology to improve public safety,” Lavine said. “This equipment will help law enforcement prevent and solve crimes while giving residents an increased sense of security and peace of mind.”
