Suffolk DA funds Asharoken PD computers

Asharoken Police Officer Alex Rubino uses one of the new mobile computers installed in two of the department's patrol cars.

Asharoken police have been given two mobile computers to use in their patrol cars, providing them greater access to criminal and motor vehicle information and better communications with county and neighboring police departments.

The computers were paid for and installed with more than $20,000 in asset forfeiture funds turned over by Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas J. Spota. According to the Asharoken police, the DA’s office has, over the years, provided essential equipment to Asharoken police, including radios and defibrillators.

The computers are also expected to provide a vital link in the growing homeland security network that seeks to connect all law enforcement agencies, according to the police.
