The Freeport Police Depart-ment
is requesting all owners of
waterfront property to affix the
address number of the property
on the bulkheading.
The request is for the security
of residents and business owners.
The Police Department's Marine
Patrol cruises the Village's water-ways
from spring to early fall.
On occasion a Marine Patrol of-ficer
will spot a suspicious oc-currence
on land, such as some-one
entering a house through a
window. Precious time is lost if
the officer cannot give an exact
address when radioing in to
Headquarters.
All residents and business own-ers
are reminded that Village law
requires that address numbers
be prominently displayed at the
front of the property. This en-sures
the swift arrival of emer-gency
services.

numbers are 546-1500 and
546-1502. Available 24 hours a

The volunteer Freeport Fire
Department, with the approval of
the Board of Trustees, has estab-lished
an Underwater Search and
Rescue Squad. It is believed to be
the first to be formed under the
auspices of a Nassau County
Fire Department and is one of
only a few such squads on Long
Island.
The squad was formed at the
urging of Freeport Fire Chief Lee
TucholsM, formerly a chief in-spection
diver for the Long Island
Lighting Company.' With eight
and a half miles of waterfront in
: Freeport, water related emergen-cies
occur requiring a call to the
Nassau County's underwater
rescue squad. Because of the
scattering of that unit's personnel
throughout Long Island, it has
often taken more than an hour to
respond to an emergency scene in
Freeport.
Five certified divers, including
Tucholski, and five tenders make
up the squad which is equipped
with a rubber boat, outboard
motor, ropes and diving gear.
Having completed their training at the Nassau County Police Academy, nine new Freeport police officers
were presented with their graduation certificates by Village Mayor Dorothy Storm at a recent public
Board of Trustees meeting. Shown (I. to r.) are Officer Richard Murray, Officer Wayne Lester, Officer
Michael Guzowski, Officer Benvenido Andujar, Freeport Village Chief Anthony Elar, Mayor Storm, Offi-cer
Fidel Balan, Officer Philip Flood and Officer Michael Smith. Missing from the photo are Officers
Timothy Seaman and Stephen Walsh.
Due to last year's success, the
Public Works Department will
again conduct a Village-wide
clean-up program this spring.
Residents will be permitted to
put an unlimited amount of trash
and debris (but NO kitchen gar-bage)
on the curb for pick-up in
accordance with the following

scheduled for their area. Pick-ups
will start at that time and the
