This weekend Nassau police plan a major crackdown on MS-13.
It comes after the notorious gang put out an order for members to murder police.
Nassau's police commissioner says the two-day offensive would aim to take gang members off the streets following the threat to kill a cop in Hempstead.
A $75,000 reward is now being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone planning to take out an officer.
