LAKE PLACID Lake Placid’s police reform plan was adopted during a special meeting on Monday, March 29. Members of the Lake Placid Village Board of Trustees voted to adopt the plan more than nine months after Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed an executive order requiring local law enforcement agencies to review their use-of-force policies and develop a plan to improve them, and two days before the state-mandated deadline to submit that plan to the state Division of the Budget. Under the plan, the village police department will continue to contract with Lexipol, and implement a new policy manual drafted by the national law enforcement consulting firm. Lake Placid police have been working with Lexipol for more than three years.

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.
