ALBANY After laying out what it sees as some of the plan s shortfalls, the Common Council voted 13-1 to pass a resolution approving the city s proposed police reform plan.
The resolution the council backed on Monday took issue with the lack of public input in the process, the timeline for some of the proposed reforms and the lack of information on who is responsible for seeing the reforms into action.
The plan was the city s response to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo s executive order requiring local governments to reform their police departments in the wake of nationwide protests last year over police brutality. The deadline for local governments to pass their plans is April 1.
