A trip to the Bahamas and another to a resort in Florida, stops at high end restaurants and time at Top Golf – these are among the purchases made using the procurement card assigned to the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office in fiscal 2025.

According to the State Comptrollers Office, it is the responsibility of department heads to oversee the use of their state issued procurement credit lines, or P-cards. A review of spending records obtained by the Herald show the card or cards assigned to Sheriff Steven Tompkins’ office were used to spend at least $133,282.09 in fiscal 2025.

Tompkins was arrested and charged with a pair of felonies related to an alleged extortion scheme on Friday while in Florida. The Sheriff’s Office did not return a request for comment on why the sheriff was in Florida.
