3:48 Police reform advocates rallied outside of Troy police headquarters against a proposal before the city council that would transfer funding to hire six new officers. In April, the Troy City Council’s Finance Committee in a 5 to 2 vote advanced a budget transfer for the hiring of six new police officers. The transfer now before the city council is intended to get new hires through the police academy and onto the beat six months earlier than if the spending waited until 2022. But advocates, many of whom criticized the city’s state-mandated police reform process, say throwing more officers at the problem will not improve the lives of Black and brown residents or build trust between the police department and the people of Troy.
