Suffolk County Sheriff to Host Open House and Family Day

Event will be held in Riverhead on Sept. 28.

Suffolk County Sheriff Vincent F. DeMarco will be hosting the annual Sheriff’s Open House and Family Day on Sunday, Sept. 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the parking lot of the Riverhead Correctional Facility on Route 24/Nugent Drive.

The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office is the oldest continuous law enforcement agency in the county, with more than 330 years of service on Long Island. The event will highlight its history, as well as the work of the county’s deputy sheriffs and correction officers.

This year, families are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the sounds of country music, courtesy of Long Island’s 96.1 MyCountry radio station. There will also be K-9 demonstrations, jail tours (for ages 12 and up), law enforcement presentations, Amber Alert child ID cards, a bike rodeo and obstacle course, exciting Sheriff’s Emergency Response Team demonstrations, Sheriff’s senior medical ID cards and more.
