Police Reform & Reinvention Collaborative Plan - First Draft Available for Review/Comment

The first draft of the Police Reform & Reinvention Collaborative Plan is available for community review and comment.  As you review it, please remember:

• The draft is a foundation upon which we will build the final plan. It is not a completed document.
• The content and organization of this first draft plan is largely based on the questions and issues raised in the NYS Reform & Reinvention Collaborative resource guide, with an emphasis on issues raised by community members.
• Reform & Reinvention Opportunities are intended as prompts for the final solutions that will come from the community and the Advisory Committee, not as pre-determined ultimatums. Going forward, our key challenge will be to identify solutions that are clearly connected to, and will have a positive effect on resolving, issues identified through the Collaborative effort.
• Please submit suggested changes in writing to rnagengast@townofbethlehem.org.  First round comments are due by Feb 5, 2021 but earlier submissions would be greatly appreciated.
