Supervisor Gerry Siller pronounced the recent police survey “pretty positive overall” at the March 4 meeting of the Police Reform and Reinvention Collaboration Committee. The committee was set up in response to a state mandate that all departments in New York determine ways to improve policing.
As the discussion of the previous night’s listening session and review of the survey conducted last month progressed, committee member Jason Shields cautioned his colleagues not to base all their recommendations from a limited number of respondents. Because there were so few residents at the listening session, and 577 responding to the survey, the numbers could be skewed, Mr. Shields said.

The Police Reform Committee members spent Thursday morning reviewing questions to include in an online survey likely to be made public by the end of February.
The committee was set up in response to a state mandate for all departments within New York to determine ways to improve policing.
Committee member Don D’Amato, who has been researching platforms to offer a survey to the public, said Survey Monkey is the best platform for this particular effort.
The survey shouldn’t be confused with complaint forms filed by those who have issues with the handling of a particular case. Those issues should be filed either with the Shelter Island Police Department or with Supervisor Gerry Siller so they can be investigated and appropriately handled.

Five newly minted members of the Police Reform Committee will be exploring ways in which Shelter Island Police can improve what most acknowledge is already an effective department functioning well with the community.
Police Chief Jim Read admitted he was initially not pleased when Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered all communities to set up such committees to determine ways to improve policing.
But on reflection, he had to admit that even a department that has had no major infractions and worked well with residents could still benefit from a look at how it functions.
