Summary
NCPD Officer Terraciano reported that cocaine arrests have increased while DWI arrests have decreased, attributing the DWI decline in part to more people using Uber and Lyft.
Nassau County Police Department Officer Terraciano briefed the board on enforcement patterns and trends. Terraciano reported that "cocaine arrests are up and DWI arrests are down as many are opting for Uber and Lyft as an alternative to driving," noting a change in the mix of cases the department is seeing.
