CARTHAGE — The Carthage Board of Trustees appointed, during its September meeting, outgoing full-time Chief of Police Reginald Huber as part-time police chief, in light of his pending retirement from
CARTHAGE â In keeping with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomoâs Executive Order 203, local village police forces have developed police reform policies.
In June, Gov. Cuomo signed an executive order requiring local governments to create and adopt a police reform plan by April 1, which must be submitted to the state. Municipalities that do not comply with the mandate risk losing state funding. The order came about in response to the May 25 killing of 46-year-old Black man George P. Floyd by Minneapolis police.
Plans must be developed in collaboration with the public through an âopen process on policing strategies and toolsâ and receive public comment before being presented to local municipal bodies for approval.
