Saratoga Springs Police Department

Facing an April deadline under Governor Andrew Cuomo’s directive, the Saratoga Springs Police Reform Task Force met Wednesday evening to discuss some proposed revisions to policing policy.

Pro-police demonstrators and counter-protesters faced off last night in Saratoga Springs, where three arrests were made. 

Tensions between Saratoga Springs residents of color and the city police department were put on full display in an online forum Wednesday night.

The City of Saratoga Springs has chosen its next chief of police. Lieutenant Shane Crooks, who has been with the department since 2004, will become the next leader of the Spa City’s police department on September 7th.
