Today a pursuit that originated in valley Stream and went into queens, ended up in a wild goose chase among the 105 and 113 precincts. NYPD were getting 911 calls saying the perp was shooting at Nassau county but all Nassau county gave them was the belt pkwy. Even the dispatcher was frustrated because of how much info they were lacking so all the NYPD units were scrolling up and down the belt looking for Nassau county units. Dispatched said she was making attempts to call them but they weren't picking up via landline. Fortunately ESU I assume have access to Nassau county pd system because they were able to obtain the correct location which ended up being in valley Stream. Half of the Nassau county units went chasing the wrong car into queens.
Why hasn't mutual aid been established for these two jurisdictions? It seems like a lot of incident cross over a lot, mostly low priority ones but all I can think about was how easy it would be for Nassau county supervisor to come over the NYPD air and give them the proper info and vice versa. Literally 10 valuable minutes wasted because of poor communication between the two agencies.
