Last August, Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered every county, city, town and village that has a police department to examine its policies and how law enforcement interacts within those in each jurisdiction. The municipalities must report back to the governor by April 1.
The focus of the Town of Chester’s first session was on scheduling future meetings and noting that, in Chester, the police are basically free of complaints and charges. Chief Dan Doellinger said he welcomes any complaints so they can be dealt with and corrected. No complaints were noted during the first meeting.
