WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWNY) - It was the publicâs turn to weigh in on the city of Watertownâs police reform plan.
In a virtual discussion Wednesday night, Watertown officials did most of the listening, while city residents did the talking.
âI really think there should be diversity training, and mental health first aid,â one speaker said.
Police Chief Charles Donoghue says he agrees that mental health and diversity training are important for officers, but he says the issue is financial.
