25 years later and it is more important now than ever that we never forget the events of 9/11/01 and that the next generation, who were not even born yet on that fateful day, are taught the importance of the memory of 9/11.

Although the weather didn’t wholly cooperate this year with the cancellation of the Air Show on Monday due to poor weather conditions, the Long Island District members of the New York State Park Police helped ensure the safety and enjoyment of the America 250 festivities at Jones Beach over the past several days for the hundreds of thousands that gathered here.

The FourLeaf Federal Credit Union Air Show and Fourth of July Fireworks were a huge success and heavily attended. Not only did Long Island District members respond to numerous calls for service on the beachfront and boardwalk at Jones Beach, our members responded to several other incidents around Long Island and its roadways, including motor vehicle accidents. Whether on the sand, the water or the roads, our members are always prepared to keep the public safe!

Today on May 31, 2026, members of the New York State Park Police Long Island District along with numerous law enforcement, EMS, Fire and Emergency Management agencies participated in a joint large-scale emergency response training exercise at Field 5 in Jones Beach State Park.

The disaster scenario, a vehicle ramming attack on a crowd of beachgoers in the Field 5 parking lot, allowed law enforcement, EMS and Fire agencies to test their response, communication, coordination and interoperability in the most realistic disaster preparedness exercise ever hosted at Jones Beach State Park. Working together during the exercise in coordination with our partners in the New York State Police, Nassau County Police Department, Wantagh Fire Department, Nassau County, OEM - LI, Nassau County Police Medic Association, New York State Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services, New York State Fire Protection Specialists, U.S. Coast Guard, NY State Parks & Historic Sites, LI State Parks Recreation and many other agencies, our responding members mitigated all threats to public safety, treated and evacuated victims, helped facilitate an orderly evacuation, and provided the public and the media with important messaging and announcements regarding the incident.

The members of the New York State Park Police Long Island District are highly trained and readily prepared for any threat, disaster or incident that may threaten public safety at Long Island State Parks. When you visit our state parks on Long Island you can take comfort in knowing that you are always being watched over by some of the best trained and highly skilled Police Officers anywhere in the state.

On Thursday, April 16, 2025, a deceased Sei Whale, originally found in Newark Bay, was towed from where it had drifted in New York Harbor to the waters off of Field 6, Jones Beach State Park in order to perform a necropsy and bury the whale.

Working with our partners at the Office of NY State Parks & Historic Sites and the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, Park Police members of the Long Island District provided security on the beachfront for the safety of the scientists at the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society and the public.

To date, there is no updated information to indicate why the whale had died.
