Brookhaven Public Safety Department 1 Independence Hill, Farmingville, NY 11738

"This review is for one singular bad experience with one singular public safety officer. At roughly 10 PM Tuesday 7/30/24 driving northbound on William floyd parkway in Shirley there was a vehicle behind me tailgating me. He was approximately 10 feet off my back bumper. I was traveling in the right lane taking off from a green light, driving within the speed limit, with no one in the left lane for at least 200 yards behind me. He sped up nearly hitting me from behind, then swerved to the left, less than 12 inches from my drivers door, and then erraticaly swerved in front of my vehicle, again, nearly clipping my front drivers corner panel. There was no imminent or present danger from passing vehicles to my left. He was not responding to an incident. I could not believe this was the behavior of a public safety officer. Clearly, this public safety officer was not acting in the public's safety. He did not have his lights on. He was not responding to an emergency (I am unsure if they even have the allowance to respond like most first responders). He was throwing a hissy fit that I wasn't driving fast enough for him -in the right lane-traveling within the speed limit- and he put mine and my girlfriend's lives in direct danger-only to slam on his brakes 10 seconds later for the oncoming red light. I was astonished so I called Public Safety. The woman I spoke with stated "We don't have any officers down that way"... I responded with ,"you most certainly do, and he purposely tried to run me off the road." I gave her the vehicle number. Judging from her voice on the phone, she knew who it was. She ushered me off the phone rather quickly with no followup information. I am searching for an email to contact a higher up, but conveniently-there is no email address for public safety. Imagine paying the exorbitant taxes we do to an organization that will literally run you and your family off the road-for being a safe and conscientious driver. Oh wait no-that is the case right here in Brookhaven town. This is utterly disgraceful and I am furious."

"Completely unprofessional. Two security vehicles were driving behind me, riding the back of my car, then when we got to a red light they went into the LEFT turning lane, put their lights on and made a RIGHT. As soon as they made the right they turned their lights off."

"These guys are so unprofessional they come up to you blinding you with flashlights, tell you to show your I.D. and refuse to identify themselves. There is nothing safe about that and its bad practice. How do you know if you're not being robbed? Anyone can buy a flashlight and demand I.D."

"Best uniformed officers"
