August officer of the month for Second Precinct
By Kathy Lloyd
The Second Precinct has selected Police Officer Frank Muoio as their “Cop of the Month” for August 2008. Muoio has been with the department since June 2001 and has received two Department Recognitions and four Letters of Appreciation.
In January, Muoio responded to the scene of a commercial burglary in the East Northport area. Entry had been forced through a rear window and there was an estimated $25,000 worth of damage to the building. During the initial investigation, Muoio noticed a distinct pattern of holes in several doors within the building and concluded that the pattern was consistent with the wheels of a skateboard. During his patrol duties, Muoio interviewed youths who frequented the area. His efforts led to the identification of several non-involved witnesses, which in turn led to the parties responsible. As a result, the Second Squad detectives charged two individuals with burglary in the third degree.
Muoio’s actions were directly responsible for the successful conclusion of the investigation. The 2nd Precinct is proud to name Police Officer Frank Muoio as their “Cop of the Month” for his investigative skills and excellent police tactics.
