Town to aid in patrolling federal properties

Supervisor Ed Romaine has announced that during the federal shutdown, officers and harbormasters from the Town of Brookhaven’s Department of Public Safety will assist in monitoring the Wertheim Wildlife Refuge, Fire Island National Seashore and the William Floyd Estate. The supervisor’s directive to increase patrols will help ensure that these historic and environmentally sensitive federal properties are protected as long as the shutdown lasts.
