According to The Wall Street Journal, a plan to realign a suburban police department’s eight police precincts is set to get another airing. 

“Several committees of the Nassau County Legislature are due to vote Monday on whether to send the proposal to the full legislature,” (TWSJ.com). The vote is expected later this month.  

County Executive Edward Mangano wants to convert four of eight precincts into committee policing centers. “The centers would be staffed by only two officers around the clock. Four other precincts would remain as-is,” (TWSJ.com). Mangano says no patrol officers will be taken off the street under the plan, but could save $20 million annually.

Nassau is struggling to close a $300-million-plus deficit , reports TWSJ.
