Election Day Statement by Suffolk County Police Commissioner Timothy D. Sini

Commissioner Sini

The safety of the residents of our county is always of paramount importance to the Suffolk County Police Department. Although there is currently no credible threat to Suffolk County, I want to ensure the community that our officers have been instructed to closely monitor polling locations in order to protect our residents as they exercise their constitutional right to vote. Officers in sector cars have been given the location of all polling places in the Police District. Uniformed and plainclothes officers in marked and unmarked vehicles will be monitoring activity at each voting location throughout the seven precincts. In addition, the department will closely monitor social media.  We will continue communications with all of our regional law enforcement partners, including the FBI, and will adjust our posture accordingly. The department encourages all residents to contact 911 to report any suspicious activity.
