Gilbert Wright and George Hurrell

QUARK-soft

Law and order was provided by two deputy sheriffs, Gilbert Wright and George Hurrell, when the Village incorporated in 1908. It wasn’t until 1918 that Floral Park had a uniformed police force with a booth at Jericho Turnpike and Tyson Avenue, which served as police headquarters. Today, the Village is served by uniformed officers, civilian dispatchers, crossing guards and parking meter attendants with a modern computerized headquarters.
