We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to District Attorney McMahon and our New York Senators for their unwavering commitment to the safety of our community.
Their support in installing surveillance cameras along the Bay Street corridor is a significant step forward in our efforts to keep our island safe.
These cameras will serve as a powerful tool in deterring crime and ensuring that our streets remain secure for all residents and visitors.
