You guys are also aware that the Sheriff's Office has a marine unit, a horse mounted unit (which the SCPD DOES NOT have btw), a K9 unit, motorcycles, detectives, bicycles (ive seen them at the CC), etc. I believe they even have a dive team. Actually, they have every type of specialized unit found in the SCPD except for an aviation unit.

Yea, and they do it all for half the price of the greedy SCPD.
Not for nothing...... But the SCPD and SD, oh and NCPD too could use some traffic control and accident scene training from the NYPD...
As for personal experiences..... Call 911 for a DWI, many many times under SCPD's control of the highways... I followed DWI individuals for miles, and on 3 instances gave up, since i was 17, and more miles out of my way.... NYSP wasn't any better on there 4 instances
1 instance i pulled over to a parked HWY car after making several 911 calls only to hear the officer say to me.... oh we'll never catch up to them now.... ARE U Moderator cut: language removed
kidding me, i caught up again...
Several other dimes wasted on DWI instances....
The other day i made a 911 call on a DWI and the sheriff came flying up at probably less then a minute and i only went about 3 miles out of my way.... 1 for 1 the sheriffs have the lead
Not to mention the time i had my civil rights violated at my shop because a SC officer couldn't just say...oh sorry sir i thought you were robbing the shop...didn't realize you are the owner...
Nope, in handcuffs that cut into my wrists for 1 hour and 45 minutes while the rest of the precinct was called in and went thru my office and ransacked customers and the business truck and my office...
Rather then allow me to get my license myself.....which they never found because the dogs wouldn't let them in the other side of the building..
Awesome police work there.... My father a Insp for the NYPD was in utter shock at the BS police work and no need for cuffs...
Maybe not all of the SCPD is wrong, but i was in shock 8 officers from one precinct couldn't see a simple simple mistake and it took 1 hour and 45 minutes to come to the conclusion i wasn't robbing the shop, while there cars blocked traffic.....

I would just like to point out that I live blocks away from Suffolk County Police headquarters and I see the helicopters all of the time flying near my home. I actually saw one last week so unless they just disbanded the aviation unit this week they are still up and running.

From what I can understand of this post (and that's not much), you're apparently someone else with an axe to grind with the Suffolk PD. Folks who have been on the receiving end of police work don't have a lot of credibility in commenting how cops should do their jobs.
I am a law abiding citizen not happy with the way they do work.... Just as you would be, if many of the instances you had the same response and issues...
Ax to grind is an insane statement since i am only adding to this thread....
I don't harp on there mistakes, go on and on about it. However if you can honestly sit there and think it's great then you are in denial.
Also having most of my family in police work, i can see the difference between right procedure and wrong

Just because you don't like what they did, doesn't make it wrong or contrary to good police procedure. And it doesn't make you right.
I am retired from the NYPD. If anything the NYPD officer's pay should be brought to that of a Suffolk County officer. Suffolk County officers should not be brought down to the pay of the NYPD. I look at it this way; once an officer gets into an extremely bad situation such as a shooting or God forbid one should be shot, that officer has easily earned every penny he has ever made. Being that this could happen to any officer at any time why is it that people think an officer should not make a good living? People do not complain so much about the pay a school teacher makes but yet they complain about what a police officer whom can be put in a life or death situation at any time makes.
It is also a well known fact that when police officers have good salaries the chances of them being tempted by corruption are much slimmer.
There have been a number of posts I have read where people seem happy that there may be less police thinking that now maybe they can get away with speeding or some nonsense. Those same people should remember that real criminals pay very close attention to what is happening with the police departments and when they know that the overall number of police is dropping and that certain units are being disbanded they also get happy and will commit more crimes. Not all criminals are stupid and unfortunately the ones that tend to be the smartest as far as knowing where and when it is good to commit crimes tend to be the more violent kind. I wonder if these same people would be laughing about less cops when crime in their neighborhoods go up or if one day someone has a gun in their face while telling them to give up their money.
I posted this exact thing in a similar thread but it pertains to this one as well so I did the "copy and paste" thing to this post for this thread.

So anyone can be set in handcuffs ESPECIALLY when there is no reason to have them restrained.... for 1 hour and 45 minutes, while it is cutting into there skin like a known common criminal, while they are violating civil rights.... going thru my shop and my office and my truck....

Are you serious ?
Actually, yes. You can be put in handcuffs and restrained without being arrested. And going through your shop and office and truck isn't necessarily a violation of your civil rights. Your rambling post doesn't tell a complete story and it is only one sided. You need to understand the law before you accuse someone of violating your rights.
