thread_title:  An edit made to the article 

message: Note: The following discussion is moved here from my talk page. It is more appropriate here. I think that reverting to either the original title "Suffolk County Police Department (New York)" or EEng's suggested "Suffolk County (New York) Police Department" would be preferable.

replies: text: The reuse in state after state of names like Suffolk, Norfolk, Middlesex is so prevalent that the chance of their being another Suffolk County, with a Police (instead of the usual Sheriff's) Department is far from negligible.  Why wait until there's a conflict and then do a confusing move?  The article should be Suffolk County (New York) Police Department.  EEng (talk) 02:17, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that there is no other article with the same title. However, if there is another "Suffolk County Police Department" in existence then it might cause confusion, whether or not there is an article with that title. Even in the case of a county "Suffolk" in which the local police force is not called the police "department", as in England, it is perfectly easy for someone to think that is the county being referred to. In this situation it seems to me that the disambiguation can do no harm, and may possibly sometimes avoid misunderstanding. JamesBWatson (talk) 07:03, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

text: Yes, there's no other article... yet!  But as already explained there's a reasonable likelihood there's another S.C.P.D. somewhere.  wp:PLACE#Disambiguation is on point: "In some cases (as with most U.S. towns) it is conventional to add such a tag even when it is not strictly needed for disambiguation purposes" (but follow the link for a fuller explanation).  The article on the county itself is Suffolk_County,_New_York and it's entirely logical for titles of articles on its administrative accessories to follow suit.  Does Suffok Co., NY have a fire department?  If so its article will need a digambuating qualifier, because there appears to be a "Suffolk County Fire Department" in Virginia.  Why fuss around with a patchwork of special cases?  What's the big deal? (Whether the parenthetical (New York) goes within the title, or at its end, I suspect is specified somewhere e.g. wp:PLACE.)

thread_title:  Title of this article 

message: The red highlighted map is supposed to be identifying the area of Suffolk County on Long Island, NY. But in reality it's identifying only half of the county. I recommend that the map shown on wikipedia page Suffolk_County,_New_York be used.  Blackslax (talk) 17:56, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  The red highlight on the map on upper right of article is inaccurate.

message: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffolk_County_Police_Department#Fallen_officers
It incorrectly and disgracefully states that the fallen officer died "while attacking a citizen while intoxicated". Officer Moore was killed by a vehicular assault, as evidenced simply by clicking the link attached to his name which redirects to his ODMP memorial page. Please correct this insult to a fallen officer.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.108.75.137 (talk) 17:23, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

message: I suggest that we merge  the Suffolk County Park Police article and  paste it under a new section of the Suffolk County Police Department article. This new section  would also have the name of Suffolk County Park Police. The reason I propose this is because the Suffolk County Park Police was merged into the Suffolk County Police Department. Because of this, the Suffolk County Park Police has no reason to be a separate article anymore.
