This committee was formed by the Town Board to address Governor Cuomo's executive order 203: New York State Police Reform and Reinvention Collaborative. The executive order can be viewed at https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/no-203-new-york-state-police-reform-and-reinvention-collaborative.

This committee consisted of two Town Board members and 12 community members from across the Town of Manlius. We worked together to gather community input identifying the services needed by our community, review of police procedures and practices and presented a plan of recommendations to the Town Board for public comment by April 2021.
