Saratoga County supervisors approve sheriff’s police reform plan | The Daily Gazette
SECTIONS
SARATOGA COUNTY The Saratoga County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved a state-mandated police reform plan for the county Sheriff’s Department that includes a recommendation to consider having sheriff’s deputies wear body cameras, and increasing use of mental health resources into daily policing.
The plan, unchanged from what a study task force recommended in January, also includes recommendations to increase diversity training for deputies and that the sheriff consider establishing a formal internal process for reviewing citizen complaints against deputies.
The plan was approved by a vote of 21-1, with Supervisor Tara Gaston, D-Saratoga Springs, voting against it because she considers the recommendations “vague,” and made without sufficient public input. “There is nothing solid here,” she said.

Body cameras among Saratoga County Sheriff’s reform recommendations | The Daily Gazette

SARATOGA COUNTY Saratoga County should re-examine whether sheriff’s deputies should have body-worn cameras, incorporate mental health resources into daily functions, increase diversity training and consider establishing a formal internal process for reviewing complaints, according to a draft police reform plan.
And if it does need to use its militaristic Mine Resistant Assault Protective vehicle as it did as part of the police response to a large demonstration last July 30 in Saratoga Springs it should do so “in a manner that reduces the possibility of instilling fear or apprehension on the part of citizens engaging in legitimate public assembly and speech.”
