Police Reform & Reinvention Committee (PRRC)

On June 12th, 2020, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed Executive Order 203 to reinvent and modernize police strategies and programs – requiring every police department in New York State to develop a reform plan with community input. For every municipality’s police department, the plan:

  • Must address policies, procedures, practices, and deployment.
  • Must certify that they have engaged stakeholders in a public and open process on policing strategies and tools.
  • Must be presented to the public for comment.
  • Must have a legislative body certify the plan.

The Village of Mamaroneck’s Police Reform and Reinvention Advisory Committee is composed of the following individuals. This committee met in November 2020, December 2020, and January 2021 and hosted a series of three Public Forums. The final plan will be submitted to New York State on, or before, April 1, 2021.

Community Survey

In addition to the three Public Forums listed above, the PRRC also put together a Community Survey to solicit community feedback about the Village of Mamaroneck's Police Department. Launched on Monday, December 21, 2020, and closed on January 11, 2021, the Community Survey was available in both English and Spanish and could be completed either online or by paper. 927 survey responses were received. The Community Survey's results were developed by the PRRC into the Village's Police Reform and Reinvention Final Plan. The statistical data of the Community Survey results can be found under Appendix 2 in the Final Plan.
