On behalf of our Tompkins County Legislature we are requesting (1) an external technical review of law enforcement’s response to a local incident, (2) a report and briefing on “lessons learned” from the technical review based on best practice with recommendations for improvement, and (3) assistance in rebuilding community trust. As explained in previous conversation with BJA NTTAC representative, the incident (which took place on Hornbrook Road in Danby, NY, involving a man who barricaded himself and then committed suicide) has resulted in a great divide between community, other local elected officials, and law enforcement. It has elevated pre-existing trust concerns and has many residents and officials questioning the appropriateness and proportionality of law enforcement’s actions.
