Police Reform and Reinvention Task Force Public Forum
The Village of Dobbs Ferry will hold an open forum for the community to share perspectives and visions for reimagining public safety on February 25th at 6:00 pm via Zoom. Community members are invited to provide input based on their recent interactions with law enforcement and thoughts on the role of trust in policing and public safety. The collaborative effort follows an executive order from Governor Cuomo requiring all municipalities with police departments in New York State to adopt a plan for reinvention by April 1, 2021. Comments can be emailed to policereformtaskforce@dobbsferry.com.
