AG Bondi Joins Ribbon Cutting For New Police Training Facility In Nassau

MINEOLA, NY — Attorney General Pam Bondi participated in a ribbon cutting on Sunday for the Nassau County's new Police Training Village.

County Executive Blakeman stated that investing in the brave men and women of the police department has been one of his top priorities since taking office.

"I said we would back the Blue, and we have hired 300 new police officers and over 200 new correctional officers," Blakeman said. "All of our major crimes are way down — rapes, murders, robberies — down 15% just in the last year.”

Federal, state and local law enforcement partners will cross-train with Nassau police at the new facilities.

“There’s no easy day in the life of a police officer. What [Blakeman and Commissioner Patrick Ryder] are doing is making it a lot easier, though," Bondi said. "You will get the training you need. It will ensure that officers are prepared for all the dangerous encounters that they face."

She added that her office and the Trump administration will continue to do everything possible to protect police officers across the U.S.
