City residents invited to discuss police reform plan
NORWICH – City of Norwich officials are seeking feedback on the Norwich Police Department’s reform plan created by the Community Advisory Board (CAB) formed by New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo’s mandates.
According to City of Norwich Director of Human Resources Lynn Murray, the meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. on March 16, and residents will have an opportunity to discuss the Community Advisory Board’s plan before the April 1 submission deadline.
“Our first meeting was on September 30, and we met weekly from then on in order to get a plan created before the state deadline,” said Murray. “It’s a 12 page document that can be found on the City of Norwich’s website, under the community advisory board section.”
“Anyone who cannot attend the meeting can email cab@norwichnewyork.net with their name and address along with any feedback they’d like to give on the police reform plan.”
Murray said it was a difficult effort but the CAB members put the time into ensuring it was a plan that would change the police department for the better.
“The City of Norwich has never done something like this before, so it was quite the undertaking,” said Murray. “The CAB members have risen to the occasion and created a plan that meets all of the state requirements and will hopefully have a positive impact in our community.”
City of Norwich Mayor Shawn Sastri also commented on the CAB’s efforts, and said those efforts haven’t gone unnoticed.
“I just want to say that the committee has put in a lot of work and effort to get that plan out there for myself and the council to review,” said Sastri. “They’ve got some great ideas, and they were really passionate about making improvements.”
“I was really impressed with the presentation they made last night and the document they created, I’m very pleased.”
Sastri said as city officials look towards the future they hope to continue the CAB, but there are likely changes that would need to be figured out, and voted on by the council before that could occur.
He said assuming there are funds available, much of what has been mentioned in the plan would be possible. He added that while it could take time, the City of Norwich is willing to explore its options to help improve the Norwich Police Department.
