A noose was found today on a fence at a Long Island public works garage, a day after two nooses were found at another municipality's highway department garage.

Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray today announced that the Nassau County town's 2,000 employees will undergo diversity and sensitivity training.

The latest noose was found this morning, hanging off a chain-link fence, inside a Nassau County Department of Public Works facility in Baldwin.

Two nooses were found yesterday inside a town of Hempstead garage in nearby Roosevelt.

In New York City, nooses were found earlier this month on a black professor's door at Columbia University and then outside a post office near ground zero. The police commissioner said it may have involved a copycat.

Last month a noose was found in the locker room of the village of Hempstead police department.
