MidHudson News is reporting the Ulster County Police Reform and Reinvention plan for the county sheriff’s office was approved by the Law Enforcement and Public Safety Committee of the county legislature late March 3. Legislator John Parete said to some degree, the report is a “wish list,” but Sheriff Juan Figueroa called it a compromise and noted the county had a hard deadline of April to file it with Albany. Committee Chair Eve Walter doubted the governor’s staff will actually review each of the several hundred reports that will be filed at the same time. “I don’t believe anyone in the governor’s office is going to read hundreds of these reports that are going to come because every municipality in the entire state has to do it,” she noted. “That said, ...should anyone look at it, they will see it is a very thorough job.” Lawmakers noted that some components of the report address projects already underway such as restorative justice. The full county legislature must now approve the plan before it is sent off to Albany. Read the full story at MidHudsonNews [dot] com.
