The annual St. Mary of the Isle International Festival will be held from Thursday evening through Sunday evening. The Church is located at 315 East Walnut Street Long Beach, NY 11561. This is a fun event with amusement park rides, carnival booths, games of luck, events and entertainment for the entire family and many delicious international delights to dine on.
This is a busy event which draws a very active crowd. A police presence and our Auxiliary Police support keep things comfortable and safe. We will need more than the usual patrol night’s coverage, so please consider your availability for these evenings. Alert the night’s command if you can help out
The warm and sunny weather attracted many thousands of people to this four day festival. The Auxiliary Police worked closely with uniform and plain clothes Long Beach Police officers in keeping this energetic event a safe one- both inside the event and in the busy streets around the church.
This long-running community tradition will return with a full lineup of musical entertainment.
Concerts are held every Monday,Wednesday and Thursday, and begin at 8:00pm unless otherwise noted.
(In case of bad weather, call 431-3890 for updates on showtimes.)
On patrol nights the Auxiliary Police are asked to help as additional Eyes and Ears for the concerts and maintain safe bicycle traffic across the Boardwalk venues.
The entire schedule is as follows:

The annual Town of Hempstead fireworks at Lido Beach will be held on Saturday, June 27th, 2009. Because
the Loop Parkway is closed for the end of this major event, a massive amount of traffic will be passing through Long Beach as soon as the fireworks end.
All officers will be needed. Please sign up on the Duty Board if available.
One of the busiest traffic events of the year, the Auxiliary Police assist in getting many thousands of cars from Point Lookout and Lido Beach through Long Beach and across the bridge in the middle of the night. As in the past, the traffic signals were controlled to favor west bound traffic down Park Avenue. Given the volume of cars and motorcycles (and some weary motorists), the Town of Hempstead Fireworks event really shows the value of our training and traffic assignments throughout the rest of the year.
The 5th Annual Sean Ryan Memorial 5K Family Fun Run will take place on Saturday, June 27th at 8:30 a.m., beginning at the Riverside Blvd. and the Boardwalk. It will also include a 1K Children’s Fun Run on the Boardwalk at 8:00 a.m.
The race is in honor of the late Long Beach Police Officer Sean Ryan.
When the City sponsors a lengthy race in our narrow city that means that a lot of intersections will need to be monitored and shut down to protect the runners from vehicular traffic. This can easily require that over sixty intersections be covered. To insure runner safety and be prepared to meet the demands of widely-dispersed runners we require a strong showing of Auxiliary officers.
Due to the increased summer activities and events through our great city, the Long Beach Auxiliary Police will commence Summer Saturday 
patrols on June 6, 2009.
The Thursday night patrol will begin on that night and all the following Saturdays will be covered by the patrol nights in sequence. Please make sure that you check the Summer Sunday Patrol schedule located in the page link in the upper left of this web page! If you are not available for your scheduled patrol, alert your patrol command as soon as possible and see if you can help out on another Saturday.
Due to the major fire of May 17, 2009 the Antique Car Show was canceled for that day. Luckily it has been rescheduled!
Car enthusiasts from all over Nassau County will be converging on Kennedy Plaza in front of City Hall for the Antique Car Show. The all-day event starts at 10:00 AM. Beautiful cars of yesteryear will be on display and their owners will be available to answer any questions. This is a free event!
The Long Beach Auxiliary Police will be assisting with light traffic control and pedestrian safety. For those officers interested in participating in this event, please muster at Auxiliary Headquarters at 9:00 AM.
Long Beach is known for one of the largest and finest Memorial Day parades in all of New York. The pride of our community is also some of the finest around and the streets are filled with our neighbors who show their support and thanks to those who volunteer their services and in some cases regrettably their lives to keep us all safe. Marching from the West End to City Hall are many community service providers, organizations, schools and our public service and safety providers.
For the Long Beach Auxiliary Police, this is one of our largest events. Muster is at 8:00 AM at Long Beach Police Department headquarters. Dress for the day is Class “A” uniform as we will be not only performing traffic and crowd control, but will be marching in the parade as well.
We’ll be taking our annual department picture in front of police headquarters immediately after the parade.
This is an ALL HANDS event. If any officer needs Class A uniform items, they must alert their Sargeant immediately. Please sign up on the Duty Board at Auxiliary HQ.

Every summer the City of Long Beach brings on a team of Summer Special officers to help during the busiest season of the year. Many of these Specials are new to our City and new to the tremendous job at hand. Long Beach Police Department Leuitenant Tangney gives a thorough and dedicated training to this team. This year Lt. Tangney offered to restructure this training in order to open it to all Auxiliary Police officers. Lt. Tangney is an amazing instructor and the unit welcomes his invitation. The training is open to all uniform and probationary officers- and everyone is strongly urged to attend. Additional details will be posted as the date nears.
