GNEPD
Police Department

The Great Neck Estates Police Department was organized on January 10, 1927, with the appointment of foot patrolman John Dennelly who retired in 1951. Since that time, every aspect of police work has changed considerably. However, the basic tenets upon which the department was found have withstood the test of time. The Great Neck Estates Police Department then and now is dedicated to the preservation of the peace, protection of life and property, prevention and detection of crime, and to the vigorous enforcement of all laws. For specific Village laws refer to the Village code.

The department consists of thirteen highly trained and professional members. The current organizational structure is as follows: Chief of Police, three Sergeants and nine Police Officers. Additionally the Village employs two Police Communication Operators, a Safety Inspector and two Parking Meter Attendants.

The Police headquarters is located on Cedar Drive at Gateway Drive. In addition to local, state and nationwide police computers, the department also maintains and monitors a radio/digital alarm computer. The Chief of Police should be contacted with regard to any information on alarm systems. The department also maintains an emergency 911 system.

Residents can add greatly to the security of the community by notifying the police promptly of any suspicious persons or activities observed in the Village. Before leaving home for a weekend or an extended period of time, please notify the police and be prepared to provide them with an emergency number and names of persons permitted to enter the premises while you are away. Keys may be left at Police Headquarters. Do not forget to stop all deliveries and to set your alarms.

The Great Neck Estates Police Department is here to serve you.
