(Enterprise photo â Amy Scattergood) SARANAC LAKE At Thursday’s public hearing on the local police review committee’s findings and policy proposals, around 30 Zoom participants learned about a proposed mental health and addiction specialist program. Some also voiced concerns over chokehold policies and how officers will be trained. On Feb. 10 the committee released its draft report a cumulative document of the weekly meetings and listening group discussions it has held since August 2020. The committee was organized then, as communities around the state began reviewing police policies under the guidance of an executive order. The report can be found on the village website.
