With the FBI’s counterterrorism and intelligence teams on high alert as U.S. operations against Iran continue, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino today announced intensified public safety patrols around houses of worship and government buildings. After collaboration with the Nassau County Police Department, we can assure residents there is no specific threat to our area, however, everyone must work together to keep our communities safe and be vigilant in protecting neighborhoods.

“Oyster Bay Public Safety Officers will intensify patrols around temples, synagogues, churches and government buildings,” said Supervisor Saladino.  “While at the present time there is no known threat to our community, the Department of Public Safety will work around the clock to ensure the safety of our citizens. Remember, if you see something suspicious, say something. Dial 911.”

See Something, Say Something!  Residents can help law enforcement by serving as an extra set of eyes and ears.  Do not assume a package, bag or box was left somewhere by accident.  If you see an unattended package, at or outside of a church, temple, synagogue, train station, mall or high traffic area – or if you see anything suspicious, report it.  Let the police know immediately.  Dial 911.

The Town of Oyster Bay commends the Nassau County Police Department for its continued partnership, information sharing, and efforts to protect the public. 

Remember dial 911 for any suspicious activity.
