History of the Eastern Long Island Police Pipes & Drums

The Eastern Long Island Police Pipes & Drums [ELIPPD] have been in existence since 1990. We are comprised mostly of Law Enforcement officers from the five easternmost townships in Suffolk County on Long Island, NY. We currently have a membership of approximately 50 people spanning an area from the Bronx to East Hampton. Any Law Enforcement Officer can become a member of the ELIPPD. Civilians are also welcome, provided that the current civilian membership does not exceed 50%.
