Just keep that long winded blowhard Foley off the phones. The guy pauses and stutters more than porky pig.Thats why board meetings take forever.It is however a step forward.

Leave him alone. At least he's honest and getting things done after years of "Crookhaven" nonesense?
He's the best supervisor this town has had in living memory.

What a joke. If the same morons who were hired at Public Safety once Alfred E. Foley and his house of idiots took over are the people in charge of this the tax payers are in for a shock.Garbage trucks will show up for barking dog complaints. Especially if that sick bitch at dispatch is the designated driver

It's about time. I worked for Waste Management for 10 years and it was a miserable job. People screamed at you constantly for what the carters did or didn't do. What took so long for someone to initiate this system? While I was there, Gene Gerrard talked about a central call system and nothing ever happened. I now work for a county in Florida and their Citizen's Action Center is wonderful.

This system has worked in communities around the nation to give residents--aren't they government's customers?--the service they deserve. Foley is all about better service to residents and saving taxpayer dollars, and this new call system will do both. It was encouraging to see Newsday cover an important good government initiative that serves the public--all too often it's all crime, fires, sex offenders and the easy hits. Congratulations.

It's about time, this ability will give the Town the needed information to weed out the constant trouble people and problems and then act as needed.

Great Job Mr Foley you have this Republicans vote.

Let's see if anyone actually shows up to handle the service calls.

If history is an indicator, I think not.

Maybe if I call the new number, they'll answer my street light complaint that I filed in May.

Wanna be ran his own paper Sun of the Beach as editor & chief, reporter and mimeograph operator. A true example of someone who no one listens to who has to put his two cents into everything. The town is making an attempt let's see how it works.

hey richie - you were absolutely friggin hilarious when you were dispatched for public safety a few years back when i was there.

you once told an old lady to go f-herself when she complained about her neighbors' loud music. classic.

i am disappointed to see that TOB did not pick you to be the call center director.

i think supervisor foley is going in the right direction, in the past 40 years none of the streets were fixed, no lighting, north ocean avenue looks great the reps never did anything !! he is only in office less then 2 years give him a chance,I ran into him at 7-11 one sunday afternoon and my conclusion is i feel he is a good guy, but we shall see, rome was not built in one day. he is not a stupid man.

I wonder if I called , would they do something about 2-300 Illegal Aliens loitering on the street on Ocean Ave. every morning ?
So far Foleys been wothless ! In fact he wanted a hiring hall to invite more ! Everyday there's more N.carolina and Oaklahoma licence plates and Illegals in Brookhaven - ILLEGALHAVEN might be a better name !!!

Have you seen Ocean Ave. lately ??? Have you seen the 7-11 or does Rome look like Mexico to you ???
