New York’s Police Reform and Reinvention Requirement: What Local Governments Need to Know  (1.5 credits Professional Practice)

Recognizing the problem of racially biased law enforcement and the need for urgent and immediate action to eliminate racial inequities in policing, New York Executive Order 203 mandates that all local governments submit reinvented policing plans by April 1, 2021. Use of force, systemic racial bias, disparities in policing, and implicit bias awareness are among the topics that must be included in each municipality's plan. The order requires engagement with stakeholders including members of communities with high rates of police/community interactions. This presentation will focus on the role of municipal attorneys in ensuring compliance with the Executive Order and agency guidance and will include a community advocate's perspective regarding reforms necessary to address systemic racism in policing.
