Tuesday begins the first of two listening sessions this week for Long Islanders to weigh in on a state-mandated reform of the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office.
Meanwhile, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran is expected to submit to county lawmakers this week her administration’s proposal on state-mandated police reforms.
Last summer, Governor Andrew Cuomo required every local police department in New York to adopt a plan to reform racial disparities in policing by April 1.
Cuomo said the future of state funding for police departments depends on those plans.
“You can t ignore the tension. Ignoring a problem will never solve the problem. That is true in life and that is true in society and that is true in government. So, put people at the table, let them vent their issues and they will vent, but then let s come to a collaborative and a consensus and let s move on,” Cuomo said.
