The Nassau County Legislature voted on September 23 to approve an intermunicipal agreement that will deliver $293,000 in county funding to the Incorporated Village of Freeport. The money will be used to buy six new police cars and related equipment.
“Village police departments are essential links in our regional public safety matrix, and it is vital to ensure they are properly resourced and always positioned to excel,” said County Legislator Debra Mulé (D-Freeport). “I was proud to vote in favor of an agreement that once again demonstrates Nassau County’s commitment to public safety.”
“Nassau County continues to be the safest municipality of its size in America because we properly fund our police and give them the best training to ensure they perform their duties at the highest level,” Legislator Seth Koslow (D-Merrick) said. “Approving this funding for Freeport PD further illustrates our commitment to law enforcement, and I was happy to cast my vote in favor of this vital initiative.”
