After months of criticism for ignoring police reform advocates and holding controlled public input sessions, Nassau County held more open forums to discuss state-mandated police reforms. However, the county didn’t organize the sessions, didn’t advertise them and the community isn’t sure their input will be heard.
There were two English and one Spanish listening sessions spread over three weeks with a total of about 100 attendees.
The county’s involvement includes providing the Zoom account, printing fliers, and taking notes.
Nassau officials made no public mention of the listening sessions.
The sessions were more critical of police than what county officials have been exposed to so far.
