New York’s police reform agenda, a package of legislation and an executive order signed by the governor earlier this month, mandates significant changes in policing policies and practices in the state and imposes new requirements on local police agencies to work with their communities on policies and practices.

Southampton Police Chief Steven Skrynecki told residents at a civic association meeting in Flanders last night his department is focused in an unprecedented way on combatting crime in the area, especially drugs, gangs and prostitution.
