FULL PARADE: Nassau County Police Department Celebrates 100 Years of Service (4K)

WANTAGH, N.Y. - Thousands gathered along Wantagh Avenue on Sunday afternoon to celebrate the Nassau County Police Department’s 100th anniversary with a massive parade. Standing shoulder to shoulder — six deep in some areas — spectators gathered to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Nassau County Police Department in what officials hailed as the largest police parade in the nation. The massive event featured nearly 2,000 marchers, including a striking formation of motorcycle officers from around the country. The one-mile procession, dubbed “a super block party” by Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman when he announced the centennial celebration last month, transformed the heart of Wantagh into a sea of blue and flashing lights. A special tribute was paid to the original 55-member police force that founded the department in 1925, half of whom served as motorcycle officers. Their legacy was brought to life as more than 250 police motorcycles and vehicles — both vintage and state-of-the-art — rolled past cheering crowds, representing departments from across the United States, and more specifically, Long Island. Nassau County’s police department, now the 12th largest police force in the country with approximately 2,600 officers, surpasses the size of police forces in major cities like Boston and Baltimore. On Sunday, that scale was on full display.
