New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared today (June 12) during his day by day instructions that he's marking four new criminal equity and police change laws, considering this a "historic" second for NY.
I will issue an Executive Order that mandates that local police depts develop reform plans with community input in order to be eligible for state funding.

They must adopt plans by April 1 or they won't get state funding.
We must restore trust.
The four new laws incorporate a conclusion to 50-A, bans strangle holds, "Karen's law" otherwise known as preclude long bogus race-based 911 calls, and he made the lawyer general the autonomous examiner in killings of unarmed regular people by police.
Cuomo concedes there is still more work to be done, yet he needs NY to "lead the way."

Cuomo likewise needs to reestablish the trust between the network and the police. He additionally gave an official request causing nearby police divisions to create change plans with "community input" by April 1 or probably they won't be qualified for state funding. Are you content with a portion of the means being taken for change? More bills are expected to go in NY so keep your foot on the gas!
Today NY took a major step toward justice by enacting landmark police reform.
