Suffolk County Officer Demands Better Protection After Protester Harasses His Family

Louis Civello, a police officer from Suffolk County and president of the Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association, shared alarming details on Tuesday about an incident involving a protester he previously arrested. This protester managed to locate Civello’s home and harassed his family while displaying a billboard truck outside.

Civello stated at a New York State Public Safety Alliance event that the harassment his family faced reflects a broader issue regarding police safety and privacy protections. He argued that current laws are insufficient, pointing out the lack of regulations preventing individuals from approaching the homes of public figures or police officers. Civello emphasized the necessity for stronger legal measures, including an anti-doxxing law, to safeguard law enforcement families from such threats.
