Crime down, terror concerns up in county Nassau police taking precautions at Jewish-owned businesses BY B I LL SAN ANTONIO Nassau County police have taken “precautionary measures” at Jewish-owned businesses and houses of worship in the wake of terrorist attacks in Paris last week despite no apparent threat being made against the county, officials said Tuesday. The announcement came shortly after police and Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano announced that crime in the county had decreased 25 percent overall since 2009 and that major crimes dropped 9.5 percent from 2013 to 2014. Acting Nassau County Police Commissioner Thomas Krumpter said patrols have increased near Jewish institutions since a gunman stormed a kosher delicatessen in east Paris on Friday morning two days after an apparent jihadist attack on the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, which has a history
of publishing political cartoons of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. On Monday, a swastika was discovered engraved onto a glass panel at the Long Island Railroad station in Cedarhurst, which has a large orthodox Jewish population. Long Island Railroad stations are out of the jurisdiction of Nassau County police.
