The Long Island Crime Blotter aggregates publicly-available incident reports from the New York State Police, Suffolk County Police Department (SCPD), Nassau County Police Department (NCPD), local outlets, and verified social-media sources. Coverage spans homicide investigations, shootings, stabbings, robberies, burglaries, drug enforcement, sex crimes, fraud cases, and missing-person searches across Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

Every report links to the original police release or news source. We do not publish names of suspects who have only been arrested (no charges filed), and we follow the New York State Press Association guidelines on identifying juveniles and victims. Corrections: corrections@longislandtraffic.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Long Island Crime Blotter?

This is a collection of 808 published reports about police and court matters in Nassau and Suffolk counties, organized by category and town. Coverage draws on official releases and local news reporting. Article counts are not counts of distinct crimes and do not measure a town's crime rate.

How often is the Crime Blotter updated?

The collection changes as articles are published or updated. Source availability and review can delay coverage. Check the dates on individual reports; this page is not a live dispatch feed or a complete record of local incidents.

How can I find later developments in a case?

Check an article for a dated update or a link to a later report. Some articles include a timeline of available developments. We do not promise complete tracking of every case; an older report may not reflect its current status.

How can I report a tip or correct a story?

Tips: tips@longislandtraffic.com (also tip line in our /about/ page). Corrections: corrections@longislandtraffic.com — please cite the URL of the article and the specific factual claim. We post corrections inline with the original article and document them in the Updates timeline. For emergencies always call 911. To report a crime anonymously, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.

What categories of crime does the blotter cover?

Browse Homicide, Shootings, Assault & Stabbings, Robbery, Burglary & Theft, Drug Crime, Impaired Driving, Sex Crimes, Fraud & Scams, Missing Persons, Arrests, Other using the category links on this page.

Where does the underlying data come from?

Sources include police and district attorney releases, local news coverage and news feeds. Consult the source information on each article to distinguish an agency statement, another outlet's reporting and any work described as our own. Rewriting a source does not constitute independent confirmation or original reporting.
