In one of the biggest scandals in Nassau County history, former Second Deputy Commissioner William Flanagan, retired Deputy Chief of Patrol John Hunter, and previous Deputy Commander of the 7^th Precinct Detective Squad Alan Sharpe resigned in disgrace after being charged with providing “special” treatment to a teenager named Zachary Parker (theislandnow.com). 

 

Zachary’s father, Gary Parker is a Manhattan accountant and wealthy police benefactor. Citing an anonymous source, the New York Post reported that uncharged cops including former Police Commissioner Lawrence Mulvery –“dined and wined with the father [Gary Parker] to the tune of more than $17,000 at pricey Long Island Restaurants,” (theislandnow.com). 

Gary Parker’s large donation to the NCPD may have scapegoated his son who has been pulled over more than 20 times, and stole approximately $10,000 worth of electronic equipment. Regardless, Zachary will be facing charges for drug possession and driving while impaired by drugs (theislandnow.com).

Parents around the county are continually worrying about their teenagers, and this case has heightened their level of anxiety (theislandnow.com).

Due to Nassau County’s current budget deficit of $310 million, County Executive Ed Mangano is trying to make big changes to Nassau’s police precincts (wpix.com). 

The county legislature will be voting on a plan to convert four of the eight precincts into community police centers (wpix.com). 

 

Areas such as Elmont, Baldwin, and Manhasset will only be staffed by two officers around the clock, leaving police labor union official’s very concerned (wpix.com).

If the plan is approved, it will be the biggest change in the Nassau County Police Department in 87 years!

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed a new law that strengthens the enforcement against drivers who use handheld electronic devices for activities such as texting while a vehicle is in motion, (governor.ny.gov/).

Cuomo, a father of three teenagers said, “It’s plain and simple: distracted driving leads to tragedies that have affected families all across New York,” (governor.ny.gov/).  

Several illegal activities that could lead up to a $150 fine and a three-point license deduction include: text messaging, browsing, retrieving electronic messages such as e-mail, taking pictures and playing games (governor.ny.gov/). 

 The new law, however does not infringe upon police officers, fire fighters, or emergency vehicle drivers as their jobs require exigent communication tactics (governor.ny.gov/).  

“New York State Senator Carl L.Marcellino said, “With this new legislation, New York State driving laws have finally caught up with today’s technology,” (governor.ny.gov/).   

New York State Police Superintendent Joseph A. D’Amico said, “Motorists should now realize the dangers of operating a motor vehicle while texting on mobile devices or talking on a cell phone without an approved hands-free device,” (governor.ny.gov/).  

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 16% of fatal accidents in 2009 were due to distracted driving and 20% of people injured during a crash were involved in a crash where distracted driving was reported (governor.ny.gov/).   

Thomas Hoy, President of AAA New York State approves highly of the lawmakers and the Governor for stiffening the consequences of handheld activity. His report found that with nearly 2 trillion text messages sent in 2010, texting represents the most dangerous form of distracted driving (governor.ny.gov/).
