LOWVILLE â After a number of meetings, public input and fine tuning, the police reform recommendations for Lewis County will be voted upon by the county Board of Legislators during their regular meeting Tuesday after a final public hearing.
Only one community member participated in the virtual Public Listening Session held on March 3, asking Sheriff Michael P. Carpinelli about law enforcement leaders he admires, but if the sheriff is correct, the in-person opportunity for the public to speak may entice more community members to participate.
âWe should have had some kind of a public forum where people could come and talk and I think (people) would have much rather have done that than go over this Zoom thing. I think it would have been much more effective,â Sheriff Carpinelli said in an interview on Friday evening.

aflynn@lakeplacidnews.com LAKE PLACID The village of Lake Placid is seeking public input on its draft of the police reform policies it must send to the state of New York by April 1. On Thursday, March 11, the village posted a draft of its New York State Police Reform and Reinvention Collaborative document on its website. It was prepared by Olio Consulting of Ballston Spa. In an effort to modernize policing in the state, Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued Executive Order 203 on June 12, 2020. It requires local law enforcement agencies to review their use of force policies and develop plans to improve them in ways that would promote community engagement “to foster trust, fairness, and legitimacy, and to address any racial bias and disproportionate policing of communities of color.” The plans must address items such as implicit bias training, deescalation, hot-spot policing, environmental design to deter crime, community-based outreach and violence prevention programs.
