"I think it's a phenomenal, phenomenal concept. I'm just so happy to be a part of this new movement," Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison said."It's not going to be easy. It's not going to be something that happens overnight, but working with the communities, working with religious leaders, working with the schools and a host of other institutions in the community, I think we can get it done.
