East Patchogue, NY – The Suffolk County Police Department’s Fifth Precinct Explorers were the recipients of a generous gift during the grand opening of a new 7-Eleven. The franchisee, Chris Stephens, selected the Fifth Precinct Explorer Post to be the recipient of their Project A Game grant in the amount of $711, which will be used to buy training equipment for the Explorers.

Deputy Police Commissioner Belinda Groneman and other SCPD officials attended the check presentation and ribbon-cutting ceremony at the 7-Eleven in East Patchogue. The grant aims to support the Suffolk County Police Explorers, a program catering to individuals aged 14 to 20 who have an interest in pursuing a career in law enforcement.
