1.      Introduction to Police Reform and Reinvention Collaborative Process.  This process is the result of Executive Order 203 from Governor Cuomo issued in June 2020.  It requires that each municipality with its own police department conduct such an analysis.  The Village called for volunteers shortly after and has a Task Force of some 22 members.  They have conducted 7 Forums and a written survey since then.  The Task Force has met in full 8 times and has formed subcommittees which will be reported on during this work session.  The Board of Trustees must submit a report and plan to NYS by April 1, 2021. 

Back up documents for this meeting include a review of the comments received from the public at the forums, in the survey and from emails sent to the Village.  The report from the Analysis sub-committee provides a data analysis from all the above information as well as Police Department statistics.  All the backup reports are available on the Village website for this meeting’s agenda.
