When I first mved to Commack some 16 years ago it was because of the excellent schools, the abundance of fine retail outlets, and the noted safety of this community. Now it is quickly becoming no different than any other low income town I'm sorry to say. 4 armed robberies in 2 months... Many bank robberies have also happened as of late. I am beginning to no longer feel safe in my own town! We need more roving police patrols especially for these high profile areas that are targeted by these thugs!

The crime was always here. It's just the in the internet age, we are able to hear about these crimes. 16 years ago there was no Patch to tell you about crime in a hyper-local format.

It's getting scary to live here!
Times are so bad that more people feel the need to rob us? And they have GUNS! Every place of business should have cameras installed to help catch these gunman...is this becoming the wild west?

If you want to protect your loved ones (home invasions are next, peeps), it's time to put aside your NY liberal anti-gun bias that has been drilled into your psyche since you were 8 and go get yourself a nice Winchester Defender, 12 ga shotgun. Trust me...once they hear you work the action to chamber a round, you'll be in control of the situation. You won't even have to shoot 'em. Unless of course, you "have" to shoot 'em! Now won't that feel better than playing the victim card as your family sees you as an impotent man, unable to protect them? Huh?
Semper Fi (that should speak volumes to some of you, right there!)

I'm with Mitch....the police are hardworking and good people...many of whom live in our Long Island communities..and..they themselves do not want their families or and loved ones to become victims of crimes...but...they can only do so much....it is up to every individual to protect themselves and their loved ones....especially the elderly who cannot defend themselves. I do not advocate violence...I enjoy peace, that is why I enjoy the tranquility of my spacious wooded yard but, I do not have my head buried in the sand either....

i believe the best way to locate your teacher is through the commack teachers association (cta).Read More contact the union president, tris stewart, and write a short note. include all the contact information you're comfortable with and wait a bit? 33 years is a long time. good luck.
