ALBANY – The first signs of how the city plans to re-imagine its police department were released Friday.
The city posted the draft report from the Community Safety and Restorative Justice group, one of the five working groups that make up the Police Reform and Reinvention Collaborative on Friday afternoon. The remaining four reports were posted Friday evening.
Brenda Robinson, the working group’s chair, said its members worked hard to familiarize themselves with piles of documents, different issues in the criminal justice system and to absorb the community’s input. The challenge was putting it all together in a short-time frame in a way that served the community, she added.
