Nassau County has designated May 20 Steve Guttenberg Day.

The 65-year-old Nassau native is best known for his roles in the 1984 movie "Police Academy" as well as three of its sequels. Guttenberg also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

On Monday, he spoke with the new class of Nassau County police recruits.

"The police have always been a great part of my life. And the more police we have, the safer our cities are, our towns are, our streets are,” Guttenberg said.

Guttenberg said his dad is a former NYPD officer.
