You do realize that your local Police are also your first tier of Emergency Medical response where you live, don't you? The very same people you just slighted are the Paramedics who may be scraping you up after your next crash. As well, your local Disaster Medical Team (DMAT) has members of both the Nassau and Suffolk County police forces. I've worked with members of LI Law Enforcement a number of times. You have some real lifesaving Cops near you.
