North Hempstead Council Member Mariann Dalimonte recently graduated from the Nassau County Police Department’s Civilian Police Academy, a 14-week specialized training course intended to open lines of communication and build trust between the NCPD and residents throughout Nassau County.

“During my tenure as an elected official in North Hempstead, I have had the privilege of working with both the Nassau County Police Department and the Port Washington Police Department on a variety of issues,” said Dalimonte. “Over the years, I’ve gained a better understanding of what their day-today operations look like, but my desire to learn more has only increased, which led me to the Civilian Police Academy. I was truly honored to have been given the opportunity to enroll in the program, which I know will ultimately make me a better representative for my constituents.”
