Assemblyman Ari Brown (R-Cedarhurst) spearheaded a program with local elementary school students to show the community’s appreciation for the Nassau County Police Department (NCPD) wherein the students wrote thank you cards to police officers. Dubbed the “Thank an Officer” program, Brown matched four elementary schools from the 20th Assembly District with NCPD Precinct 4.
“This program was designed to help unite the community, and I am so impressed with the outstanding craftsmanship and thoughtfulness the students put into these cards,” said Brown. “Our police work very hard to keep our community safe. It’s often an unappreciated job. I am pleased we could remind them how much our community values their dedication and protection while at the same time also familiarizing kids with law enforcement and bringing the community together. Thank you so much to the teachers who facilitated this project and of course all the students for their wonderful work.”
Participating elementary schools included #8 in Oceanside, #3 in Oceanside, West Elementary in Long Beach, and HALB Elementary 523 in Woodmere.
