Police Detectives Donate Coats to Elmont Students

Police Detectives Donate Coats to Elmont Students

Thanks to the wonderful humanitarian efforts of members of the Nassau County Police Detectives Association more than 100 Elmont students will be toasty warm this winter when they bundle up in their new coats.

            “This year, more than ever, the help and kindness of the detectives is so greatly appreciated,” says Norma DeBartolo, Elmont School District’s Special Assistant for Community Affairs. “They continue to make a difference in the lives of so many families in the district.”

            This year marks the fourth annual coat drive sponsored by the county police detectives.
