Nassau County is increasing waterway patrols ahead of the busy Memorial Day holiday weekend and urging boaters to refrain from drinking and driving.
The Coast Guard, NYPD Harbor Unit and FDNY Marine Operations held an event Monday to talk boating safety for National Safe Boating Week. Kemberly Richardson has more for ABC7NY.
"There's a lot of water out here, but there also isn't when there's a lot of boats and people who try to rush to get places," Officer Brian Law said."It's about speed, and it's about paying attention. Those are the two biggest things."
