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.

We’d like you to meet Ezra Hunt. He is our honorary Black River Police Officer! There’s nothing like seeing a happy and smiling child!Posted by Black River / Evans Mills Police Department on Sunday, January 10, 2021
An 11-year-old with Down syndrome who has logged three open heart surgeries got to return to school in Alabama as an honorary police officer, thanks to the chief in Black River, New York.
No matter how unlikely, Ezra H. Hunt, who goes to Shelby Elementary School in Alabama, went back to school on Tuesday wearing a Black River T-shirt with his name on the sleeve. He also was issued a certificate that made him an honorary officer, along with, and certainly not lost on his father, the actual nickle and gold badge Chief Steven Wood used to carry in his wallet while on pat
