In case you missed it, here's a story that appeared last week in Syosset Patch:

Nassau County Police now have 181 new recruits.

The new recruits who have successfully completed their training to join the Nassau County Police Department, Sheriff Department and Village Police Departments were sworn in at a recent ceremony by Nassau Executive Edward P. Mangano Acting Police Commissioner Thomas Krumpter and Department Chaplain Reverend Joseph J. D’Angelo.

The recruits were sworn in after completing 7 months of intense law enforcement training at the Nassau County Police Academy.

A total of 15 have prior military experience and 25 have prior law enforcement experience.

Out of the 181 recruits, 154 will be joining the Nassau County Police Department while the remaining 27 recruits will be joining either the Nassau County Sheriff’s Department or a Village’s Police Department.

“I thank each and every recruit for choosing to join these invaluable forces and for your commitment to a career in both law enforcement and public service,” Mangano said. “Law enforcement is a very difficult and often dangerous profession. It demands the utmost professionalism, vigilance and a distinct skill set. Each of you and your families should be extremely proud of your accomplishments.”
