Village of Red Hook Mayor’s Report September 2023
POLICE REPORT & LAW ENFORCEMENT:
Lexipol – Lt. Hildenbrand has been working with Lexipol, as planned, to review and confirm policies. This process will take somewhere between 6 to 12 months. The highest impact policies are being reviewed first. At the next meeting, I will have a total number of policies to be reviewed with a chart showing how many are complete. When the process is complete, we will be making the appropriate policies publicly available.
Two policies, Hiring and Reporting, have been submitted to DCJS (Division of Criminal Justice Services), as required, for review to be accredited.
Incident reports – see attached.
