Question: Do You Support Police Merger?

Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano is proposing that the , saving the county $20 million while keeping the same overall number of patrol cars on the streets.

Farmingdale is currently covered by both Nassau's Seventh and Eighth Precincts and Suffolk's First Precinct. 

The Seventh Precinct in Seaford, along with the Second Precinct in Woodbury, Third Precinct in Williston Park and Fourth Precinct in Hewlett would continue to operate as regular precincts, while  in Levittown, along with the First Precinct in Baldwin, Fifth Precinct in Elmont and Sixth Precinct in Manhasset would become community policing centers, according to a release from the county.

Mangano's plan will extend the Second Precinct's coverage area through Farmingdale into Massapequa. Some and community leaders are questioning the plan, but Mangano says it is cost-effective and safe.

As a resident affected by the plan, how do you feel about the proposal? Are you comfortable with it? Do you think it will it be screamed down by the public and the unions? Tell us in the comments.
