Oyster Bay Launches ‘Back The Blue’ Ribbon Campaign To Honor Law Enforcement
Offering Free Blue Ribbon For Residents To Display During Police Appreciation Week
In a powerful display of support for our law enforcement heroes, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board are launching a ‘Back the Blue’ Ribbon Campaign in recognition of National Police Week (May 11th – 17th). This nationwide observance honors the brave men and women in blue who risk their lives to protect our communities, as well as those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
Free blue ribbons are available for residents to show their support to ‘Back the Blue’ by displaying blue ribbons on homes, businesses, storefronts, trees, and mailboxes.
“This campaign is a powerful way to say, ‘thank you’ to the courageous men and women in blue who put their lives on the line
every day,” said Supervisor Saladino. “At a time when law enforcement officers continue to face unfair criticism and even calls to defund the police, it’s more important than ever to stand up and show our gratitude.”
“We are proud to live in the safest large suburban county in America, and that’s because of the dedication and sacrifice of our police officers,” added Councilman Lou Imbroto. “When you call 911—whether for a burglary, a health emergency, or to protect your family—our officers are the ones who answer that call. Let’s show them we’ve got their backs.”
Get Your Free Blue Ribbon!
Residents who would like a complimentary blue ribbon from the Town of Oyster Bay can request one by calling (516) 624-6380.

Saladino: Beach Parking Stickers Available Beginning May 10th
Oyster Bay Town
Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board announce that seasonal beach parking sticker sales and the free distribution of stickers to senior citizens and the disabled will begin on Saturday, May 10th. The Oyster Bay Town Board has restricted beach access to residents only. A major sand replenishment project was completed over the past several months.
Supervisor Saladino stated, “Break out the beach towels and sunscreen because summer is just around the corner, and so are our beach sticker sales! The Town of Oyster Bay is a true staycation destination offering some of the best beaches in the world. By purchasing a beach sticker in advance, you can avoid the inevitable lines that often accompany the start of the beach season and spend more time with your feet in the sand instead.”
Beach parking stickers will be on sale beginning Saturday, May 10th, from 10AM - 2PM daily at John J. Burns Town Park in Massapequa, Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park in Oyster Bay and at TOBAY Beach. Beginning Saturday, May 24th, beach parking stickers will be available for purchase on weekends only from 8AM to 4PM at Centre Island Beach in Bayville and Philip B. Healey Beach at Florence Avenue in Massapequa. On Saturday, June 21st, beach parking stickers will be available for purchase daily from 8AM to 4PM at Tappen Beach in Sea Cliff, and in Bayville at Charles E. Ransom and Stehli beaches. To purchase a beach parking sticker for your vehicle, residents must present a valid NYS driver’s license with residency in the Town of Oyster Bay, their vehicle registration, and bring the vehicle they plan to drive to the beach. Parking stickers are placed
on the vehicle at the time of purchase. Only residents may purchase beach parking stickers for Town of Oyster Bay beaches. Beach parking stickers are $60, which pay for themselves following three visits.
FREE PASSES FOR SENIOR CITIZENS:
Town of Oyster Bay residents aged 60+ can obtain a free parking sticker by presenting their driver’s license with Town residency and their vehicle registration. After receiving the sticker, senior residents must be present in the vehicle for entry on each visit. If visiting the beach in another vehicle, seniors can show their driver’s license and get a free day pass.
FREE PASSES FOR DISABLED/ SOCIAL SECURITY
RECIPIENTS: Residents who are permanently disabled or receive social security can acquire
a free beach parking pass by showing their Notice of Award Letter or Handicapped Parking Permit issued from the Nassau County Department Office for the Physically Challenged, alongside with a valid driver’s license showing residency in the Town and vehicle registration.
A parking sticker will then be adhered to the vehicle.
DISCOUNTS FOR VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS & VETERANS:
Town of Oyster Bay volunteer firefighters, active-duty members of the United States Armed Forces, and veterans’ quality for beach parking passes at reduced rates.
Only cashless payments are accepted, including credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay. For more information, please call the Town of Oyster Bay Parks Department, Beaches Division, at (516) 7974111.

“We give Michele & Mark Goodman our very highest recommendation!! My husband who is a real estate attorney & I knew that we wanted Michele and Mark to find a buyer for our home and quickly! That was a good decision!! They found a buyer within a few weeks & negotiated a price of $82,000 higher than our asking. We have already recommended this team to clients and will highly recommend them to friends & family. They are true professionals!!” ... Arnie & Resa Hauptman
“During our first meeting with Michele we knew immediately she was the person we wanted to help sell our home of 36 years. Every detail of the process was clearly explained to us and executed exactly as proposed. Michele helped us carefully review our offers and pointed out the positives and negatives of each one. In the end we got a terrific price for our home and we were very happy. We highly recommend Michele for her professionalism and many years of real estate knowledge.” ... Andrew & Sheryl Engel
“After researching and interviewing a number of realtors to sell our Massapequa home, we decided on using the Michele and Mark Goodman Team at Douglas Elliman Real Estate. Michele and Mark conducted thorough market research, had expert historical knowledge of the house and its community and were very knowledgeable of the various selling features the neighborhood offered. The Team’s confident approach to listing and marketing the property was effective, resulting in strong prospect interest and ultimately a very satisfying sales price within a short time frame. They also did an excellent job keeping us informed along the way and were, without fail, extremely responsive to questions sent to them regardless of the time of day.” ... Jeffrey Tomitz
