Toulon, Jr. Sheriff Toulon was joined by the family of Andrew McMorris, who was hit by a drunk driver in 2018 while hiking with his Boy Scout troop. The driver in that crash was found guilty of aggravated vehicular homicide and sentenced to 8 1/3 to 25 years in prison. “We are proud to stand by Sheriff Toulon, the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office, and the Suffolk County Police Department in raising awareness of the 100 deadliest days of summer when drunk, drugged and impaired driving numbers are elevated. Just a few months after Andrew’s untimely passing, we turned our grief into action by establishing The Andrew McMorris Foundation in 2019 to honor our son’s memory. The foundation’s core mission is to recognize community-oriented and positive-minded students with scholarships and grants as well as to advocate with lawmakers to create legislation to put an end to drunk, drugged and impaired driving. The Andrew McMorris Foundation asks everyone this summer and always to please make a promise to never drink and drive. Call a cab, call a friend, save a life, start a trend. You don’t have to be a superhero to save someone’s life. Just take the keys,” said Alisa and John McMorris of the Andrew McMorris Foundation. “Summer is one of the deadliest times of the year on our highways. MADD supports Operation Heat and will join the efforts by providing staff and volunteers to participate in checkpoints across the county this summer. Our mission is to end drunk driving and MADD encourages alternatives, such as designating a non-drinking driver, rideshares, and using public transportation, that can prevent these crimes from happening,” said Paige Carbone, Regional Director MADD NY, NJ, PA The National Safety Council (NSC) estimated that 462 people were killed on the road in July Fourth car crashes last year with excessive alcohol use the cause of 41% of these fatalities-- the highest among all the major holidays.

Date: May 31, 2023 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Riverhead, NY) From May 21 – May 25, 2023, Suffolk County Correction Officer Jeffrey Benaim completed five marathons in five days in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month. Correction Officer Benaim ran a complete 26.2-mile marathon each day in each of NYC’s five boroughs for a total of 131 miles in five consecutive days. He was specifically calling attention to the mental health needs of law enforcement officers and those in the military. Correction Officer Benaim then followed that up with a half-marathon in Suffolk County to bring his total to 144 miles for the week. Correction Officer Benaim completed this extraordinary journey in order to raise money as part of his non-profit organization, Project Patriot 22. Project Patriot 22’s mission is to raise suicide and mental health awareness and teach the mental health benefits of physical fitness. All money raised was donated to Reps for Responders, an organization who shares a similar mission to Project Patriot 22. Their mission is to “improve the physical and emotional survivability skills of first responders so that they can make responsible decisions both on the job and in their personal lives.” Suffolk County Sheriff Dr. Errol D. Toulon, Jr. commends Correction Officer Benaim for his commitment to this vital cause. “Jeff is a role-model for all members of law enforcement. His dedication to complete this ultimate test of physical fitness and determination shows everyone in uniform that they can survive even the toughest battles. I thank him for bringing attention to the mental health of first responders.” According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed in the US since 1949. The purpose of this month is to raise awareness about mental health and help fight stigma, provide support, educate the public, and advocate for policies that support millions of people in the US affected by mental illness. NAMI also reports that law enforcement officers face higher rates of depression, substance abuse, burnout, PTSD, and anxiety than the general public. Statistically, more police officers die by suicide than they do in the line of duty.

LUNA, 6-MONTH-OLD RETRIVER DONATED BY PAWS OF WAR, JOINING THE OFFICE’S WELLNESS UNIT In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, Suffolk County Sheriff Errol D. Toulon, Jr. introduced the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office’s newest ‘recruit’ Luna earlier today. The 6-month-old English Cream Retriever was donated by Paws of War, a non-profit organization dedicated to training and placing service animals with veterans and fire responders. Luna will be the Office’s first therapy dog and will work alongside the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office’s Wellness Unit. “Traditionally members of law enforcement don’t always ask for help when in need because they are afraid it could be perceived as weakness. This is why a balanced wellness program ensures officers have a reliable, trustworthy way to get peer support. Luna will make a great addition to our Wellness Unit because research has shown that therapy animals can lower blood pressure, decrease anxiety, improve mood and promote feelings of support and confidence. Thank you to Paws of War for their continued partnership with the Sheriff’s Office,” said Sheriff Toulon. “Luna is a very special dog, and she’s going to make an impact on many lives. Sheriff Toulon has a great vision for this program and we’re proud to be part of it. Thanks to Sheriff, his team, and the collaboration with Paws of War, we’ll be able to help so many people who need it,” said President of Paws of War, Robert Misseri. The Suffolk County Wellness Unit is one of the only full-time Wellness Unit’s within a law enforcement agency on Long Island and aims to strengthen the health and wellness of all Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office staff. Through building resilience, injury prevention, peer support programs, physical fitness, proper nutrition, stress management, mindfulness, mental health resources, suicide prevention, and more. Since launching in late 2022 the Wellness Unit has had over one thousand interactions with both sworn and civilian staff. Luna is named after fallen FDNY Firefighter Billy Moon, who passed away during a training exercise in December. Moon’s brother-in-law is a Correction Officer at the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office. The family was in attendance for the naming of the dog and dedication.

NATION’S FIRST JAIL INTELLIGENCE CENTER WILL SHARE TRENDS AND DATA ACROSS FACILITIES TO KEEP OFFICERS, PUBLIC SAFE AND STOP CRIME Today, Suffolk County Sheriff Errol D. Toulon, Jr. was joined by Elected Officials and Commissioners from partnering corrections agencies for the official launch of the “Corrections Intelligence Center” (CIC). The CIC is the first-of-its-kind jail intelligence network that shares data, trends, best practices and potential threats across jails and prisons. The CIC is fully staffed with specially trained Corrections Intelligence Officers from participating agencies including New York State Department of Correction and Community Supervision, New York City Department of Corrections, Nassau County Sheriff’s Office, Westchester Department of Corrections and Morris County (NJ) Sheriff’s Office. The center also includes remote participation from 20 additional Counties in the regional area that are participating in bi-weekly roundtables in addition to receiving immediate alerts to potential threats and trends. “Corrections intelligence is underutilized and is a valuable tool in keeping the public and law enforcement officers safe. We are doing what has never been done before -- proactively collecting and disseminating trends about contraband, drugs, gang affiliations and potential threats through this network of jail and prison systems,” said Sheriff Errol D. Toulon, Jr. Since Sheriff Toulon took office in 2018, he has expanded collaboration with local law enforcement agencies to help solve cases utilizing intelligence from inside the Suffolk Facilities. The CIC expands on this to help cases beyond the Suffolk borders by sharing pertinent information with Task Forces embedded with the F.B.I., U.S. Marshals, Homeland Security, Suffolk County Police Department, Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, and other police agencies. “Fentanyl is a major issue not only in our neighborhoods but also in correctional facilities. Inside jails, drugs are worth 10x more than what they are on the street. Our network will allow us to seamlessly share new methods bad actors use to smuggle these drugs in and is a critical tool in stopping the flow of drugs into jails and ultimately, our neighborhoods,” said Sheriff Toulon. Since a trial opening in March, the CIC has been able to gather and disseminate information regarding new drug trends like Xylazine as well as new ways to introduce drug contraband such as fentanyl being sprayed onto paper through the mail. In addition, the CIC will share and cross reference data on security risk groups like gangs, which may not have been available to us previously. Having accurate and up-to-date information helps us manage high-risk individuals properly, mitigate any violence and stop dangerous contraband from entering our facilities. For example, the Corrections Intelligence Center received information regarding an attorney attempting to smuggle marijuana and fentanyl to a NYC inmate while she was in Queens District Court through the clothes provided for her trial. Sheriff’s Office will also use the intelligence network to help solve crimes outside of the jail walls. Recently, the CIC worked with our law enforcement partners to assist in arrests connected to a catalytic converter theft ring that spanned across Long Island. Jail intelligence was utilized to help ID the suspect which led to the arrests of multiple people involved. Sheriff Toulon also announced plans to expand the CIC to national and international partners. To accommodate the growing operation, Suffolk County is currently working on a renovation of an unused portion of the original Yaphank Jail, which 2,500 sqft. is currently being earmarked for a state-of-the-art CIC facility. The initial phase of renovation is expected to be complete in early summer.

Today, Suffolk County Sheriff Dr. Errol D. Toulon Jr. hosted an Interfaith Council breakfast at the Axis Church Community Center in Port Jefferson. Pastor Anthony Pelella and Pastor Kara Bocchino of Axis Church were there to welcome the attendees. Sheriff Toulon spoke about all the programs the Sheriff’s Office has and informed attendees what they could do to help. The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office Interfaith Council’s mission is to be a resource of faith-based organizations that can provide resources and services to current and formerly incarcerated individuals and their families as well as to the Sheriff’s Office staff. Organizations can get involved by providing support through programs and services (counseling, therapy, parenting classes, recovery programs, etc.). They also work to support the Sheriff’s Transition and Reentry Team (START) Resource Center with assisting the reentry of incarcerated individuals back into the community (transportation, housing, food, clothing, job placement, etc.).
