Sixth Precinct Merged With Third

Are Glen Cove's surrounding communities less safe with less precincts?

County Executive Edward Mangano's was July 2 when the Third Precinct absorbed the Sixth - one of two that formerly worked with the Glen Cove Police Department. 

The other is the Second Precinct, which is also being merged under the plan.

Those precincts will be turned into which will be staffed but not used to run patrols out of or process arrests.
