The final Nassau County Police precinct scheduled to merge at the end of the week has now been postponed, according to department officials.
The merger will be delayed approximately 90 days "due to ongoing
hurricane Sandy recovery efforts within several Nassau County agencies,"
Inspector Kenneth Lack told Patch.
The First Precinct was slated to be absorbed by the Seventh Precinct in Seaford on Friday, completing the final merger in Nassau and leaving the county with four police precincts.
The realignments were announced
earlier in 2012 as a way to eliminate more than 100 desk jobs and
cut in "costly" built-in overtime benefits, according to the county.
The First Precinct building in Baldwin will now become the county's fourth community policing center.
Final Police Precinct Merger Postponed
Final step will eventually leave four police precincts in Nassau County.
