Today, Senator Jim Gaughran joined Village of Muttontown Mayor James Liguori, Muttontown Police Chief Eric Irizarry, and Muttontown police officers to announce $50,000 in State funding for new police equipment, including a police vehicle. The Muttontown Police Department covers more than 4,500 acres of primarily residential land, including treasured historical landmarks such as the Muttontown Preserve and the Benjamin Moore Estate. Muttontown is home to hundreds of miles of hiking and horse trails, infamous for gorgeous rolling hills, which necessitate appropriate police vehicles for swift response times.

Senator Jim Gaughran said "Our first responders are at the forefront of protecting our communities and I'm proud to secure $50,000 in vital funding to help them do this essential work. Muttontown is home to a number of historic landmarks, countless miles of hiking trails, and other treasured spots. This vehicle will ensure law enforcement can quickly and safely respond to issues throughout the community. Thank you Mayor Liguori and Chief Irizarry for your partnership, and to the Muttontown officers who selflessly serve our community each day."
