The Sharing to Help Access Remote Entry, or S.H.A.R.E. initiative, was launched for county schools in Sept. 2019 to allow police access to close circuit television cameras in the event of a school shooter. The expansion would now allow the police to access cameras in supermarkets, shopping centers and big box stores. “We have seen shootings in our schools, in movie theaters, in shopping centers and supermarkets, everywhere across this country,” Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone said. “It’s one of the things that keeps me up at night, as a County Executive — that we can have one of these shootings here in our community, on Long Island.”
