LVFD Launches New Fire Police Squad

The Locust Valley Fire Department is proud to announce the launch of our new Fire Police Squad. This new unit was established to provide support during various firematic operations and non-firematic events. Some of their duties include: Traffic Control, Establishing Scene Safety Zones, Crowd Control, Protecting Emergency Workers and Bystanders, Securing Incident Scenes, and Providing Incident Support.

The members all completed a comprehensive Fire Police Training class through the Nassau County Fire Academy and were officially sworn in by TOB Town Clerk Steven Labriola this past week.

Richard Coyne has been appointed as the Fire Police Squad's first Captain. The Chief's office would like to congratulate all the members of the Fire Police Squad for successfully completing their training and for their dedication to the launch of this new unit.
