New York – Law enforcement officials from a New York region where a local paper  published a map identifying gun owners say prisoners are using the information  to intimidate guards.

Rockland County Sheriff Louis Falco, who spoke at a news conference flanked  by other county officials, said the Journal News’ decision to post an online map  of names and addresses of handgun owners has put law enforcement  officers in danger.

“They have inmates coming up to them and telling them exactly where they  live. That’s not acceptable to me,” Falco said.

Robert Riley, an officer with the White Plains Police Department and  president of its Patrolman’s Benevolent Association, agreed.

“You have guys who work in New York City who live up here. Now their names  and addresses are out there, too,” he said adding that there are 8,000 active  and retired NYPD officers currently living in Rockland County.  Full Article
