Hi kstallbe-ga,
As you may know, Massapeque Park gets primary police coverage from the
Nassau County police department (7th precinct on Merrick Road, phone
516-573-6700). Further police serve via the Nassau volunteer Police
Auxiliary, which is located at the town's Community Center (phone
516-799-8433).
For this reason, statistics have not been broken out for just the 7th
precinct, however data are available for Nassau county as a whole.
There is information (but now statistics) for Massapequa Park locally
(please see the links at the end). The data for Nassau county is as
follows:
