WHEN THERE IS A DRUG DEAL GOING ON, A BUYER AND SELLER, NOBODY IS CALLING THE COPS. YOU KNOW, THESE FAMILIES OF THESE OPIOID EPIDEMIC.ĪND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WE'RE DOWN IN 1998, WE HAD 70 DETECTIVES IN NARCOTICS. SO TELL THOSE FAMILIES THAT THEY'RE NOT A CRIME STATISTIC. THEY SHOULD BE A CRIME STATISTIC BECAUSE IT'S BECAUSE OF DRUGS, OKAY? OVERDOSE VICTIMS ARE NOT A CRIME STATISTIC. YEAH, YOU'RE GETTING THE JOB DONE ANYWAY. WELL, NUMBER ONE, IT'S THE GOOD WORK THAT THE POLICE OFFICERS ARE DOING. IT'S BEEN GOING DOWN AND MURDER RATE, ROBBERY, MOTORCYCLE THEFT, SAME THING IS HAPPENING IN 2018. I SAW - I WAS LOOKING AT THE CRIME STATS FROM 2006 TO 2017. THE REASON SKII ASK THAT IS BECAUSE LAST NIGHT I WAS LOOKING AT NASSAU COUNTY CRIME STATISTICS AND THE CRIME AT LEAST ON PAPER HAS BEEN PLUMMETING. WELL, YOU SEE WHAT THE GANG VIOLENCE THAT'S OUT THERE AND EVEN NARCOTICS WE'RE DOWN TO 29 DETECTIVES IN NARCOTICS. WE'RE DOWN TO SEVEN DETECTIVES IN OUR GANG INVESTIGATION SQUAD. THERE ALSO HAVE OTHER BODIES OUT THERE THAT WE KNOW ABOUT IN THESE PRESERVES AND PARKS IN NASSAU THAT WE HAVEN'T RECOVERED YET. WE'RE DIGGING UP BODIES IN NASSAU COUNTY OF VICTIMS FROM THIS GANG. WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OR THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF THIS DETECTIVE SHORTAGE? SO ELABORATE ON WHAT I SAID IN THE INTRODUCTION. INITIALLY IT'S A $2400 RAISE BUT STAYING IN YOUR POLICE OFFICER STEPS AS WELL. SO IT'S ESSENTIALLY, THERE IS NOT ECONOMIC INCENTIVES FOR THEM TO TAKE ON THE GREATER RESPONSIBILITY. YOU HAVE TO COMPLETE YOUR PBA STEPS WORKING AS A DETECTIVE AND THEN ONCE YOU COMPLETE THOSE STEPS, THEN CANYOU CAN GET PAID THE DETECTIVE.
IF YOU MAKE THE DETECTIVE, THEN YOU'RE THIRD TIER. IF YOU'RE A POLICE OFFICER, IT'S EIGHT STEPS TO TOP PAY. THERE IS ALSO ISSUES OF OUR STEPS IN BECOMING A DETECTIVE. ONCE THE DETECTIVE GETS THERE, WE'RE INTERVIEWING WITNESSES, VICTIMS, WE ALSO HAVE TO MAKE A CASE AGAINST THE SUBJECT AND SEE THAT CASE THROUGHOUT A SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTION IN COURT. OUR POLICE OFFICERS IN NASSAU COUNTY DO A GREAT JOB. ONE OF THEM BEING THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DETECTIVES. RIGHT NOW, THERE SAY LACK OF INTEREST IN POLICE OFFICERS SUBMITTING LETTERS TO BECOME THE DETECTIVES FOR SEVERAL REASONS. SO FIRST OF ALL, DETECTIVE, WHY IS THERE THIS SHORTAGE OF DETECTIVES IN NASSAU COUNTY? JOINING US NOW TO HELP ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS IS DETECTIVE JOHN WIGHOUSE. SO WHY IS THERE SUCH A SIGNIFICANT SHORTAGE OF THE DETECTIVES IN THE NASSAU COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT? THE NASSAU COUNTY DEBLGTIVES UNION IS RAISING SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT A DETECTIVE SHORTAGE.ĪCCORDING TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE NASSAU COUNTY DETECTIVES ASSOCIATION, THE DIVISION IS CURRENTLY 45 DETECTIVES SHORT OF THE NUMBER OF BUDGETED FOR THE COUNTY AND ACCORDING TO HIM THAT, SHORTAGE MADE IT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT FOR THE DEPARTMENT TO COMBAT THE GROWING GANG VIOLENCE FROM GROUPS SUCH AS THE LETHAL MS 13.
