Local Governments in New York Need To Reinvent Police Tactics Or Risk Funding

Written by on June 13, 2020

An executive order by Governor Andrew Cuomo will order police and local governments to “reinvent” law enforcement techniques in New York.

The New York State Police Reform and Reinvention Collaborative ordinance states that local governments across the state have to develop a plan that “reinvents and modernizes police strategies and programs” before April 1 2021.

If they do not have an adequate plan in place, the municipalities will risk losing state funding.

The plan must address the use of force by police officers, crowd management, community policing, implicit bias awareness, restorative justice practices, community based outreach, a transparent citizen complaint disposition procedures and other issues raised by the community.
