According to the New York
State Division of Criminal Justice
• Services, the incidence of burg-lary
in the Village of Freeport
reduced by more than 50% in the
first three months of 1982 over
the same time span in 1981.
The theft of motor vehicles de-creased
by the same percentage.
The total of all categories of
reportable crime dropped by
one-third in January through
March 1982 over the same period
in 1981. Since 1981, nine new
recruits have been hired for the
Freeport Police Department and
an awareness campaign instituted
to increase citizen participation in
crime prevention.
Freeport Police Chief Anthony
Elar also notes a correlation
between the drop in crime and the
establishment in January of a
special traffic unit. Nationwide it
has been proven that criminals
avoid areas where they may be
stopped for a traffic-infraction and
identified.

code enforcement which he sees
as the most important function of
the department. Counsel's office
meets with the Board of Trustees
each week, with the Zoning
Board of Appeals once a month
. and conducts traffic court trials
three times a month and Building
Department trials once a month.

resolutions, preparation of

(ing demolition proceedings,
Article 78 actions, disciplinary
hearings, condemnation proceed-ings,
challenges as to the consti-tutionality

Must Show Numbers
The Village Code of Ordinances
.ndates that owners of all
'uses and other buildings
within the Village must promin-ently
display the numerical
address of the building so that it
can be easily seen from the street.
Affected under,the law are all
commercial, industrial, institu-tional
and business buildings as
well, as one-family homes and
apartment residences.
Those not adhering to the law
are liable for summoning to
Village Court where a fine may be
imposed. The primary purpose of
the legislation is to assist fire,
police and other emergency ser-vices
in responding to calls for aid
as quickly as possible. An easily
seen address is also accommodat-ing
to .visitors and eases the
delivery of mail and packages
