THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Legislative findings. It is of the utmost importance that
the various police departments of this state engage in modern, effective
policing to ensure the safety of our communities. Police departments
must be free of corruption and engaging in best practices in order to
carry out their vital charge. After a recent spate of charges of
corruption among the leadership of the police department of the village
of Hempstead, Nassau County, and after a recent conviction thereof, the
legislature finds that it is in the interests of the state to ensure
that the police department of this village is properly ensuring public
safety.
§ 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the division of crim-
inal justice services shall, within thirty days of the effective date of
this act, undertake a study in consultation with the comptroller of the
state of New York, regarding the policies, practices and finances of the
police department of the village of Hempstead, Nassau County, and
regarding the state of public safety in the village of Hempstead. The
police department shall provide, and the division of criminal justice
services and the comptroller shall review, any and all documents,
including but not limited to records, financial statements and written
policies regarding policing and the state of the police department in
the village of Hempstead.
