GALWAY Nearly a month after the state’s April 1 deadline for communities with police departments to submit mandatory police reform plans, the village of Galway in Saratoga County is the only Capital Region community that has yet to comply.
As of this week, about a dozen municipalities out of 494 with police departments have yet to submit plans to the state, and many of them small and rural, like tiny Galway. That number is down from nearly 40 agencies that hadn’t submitted their plans as of April 7, a week after they were due to be filed; state officials said they are contacting the communities that haven’t complied.
