State Senator Joe Griffo had a busy night with the Utica Police Department last week as part of a ride-along with law enforcement. Griffo recently completed ride-alongs with the New York State Police in Herkimer County, the state police Community Stabilization Unit in Oneida County, the Madison County Sheriff’s Office and the Utica Police Department. Griffo says, he'll "use what he experienced to continue his strong advocacy for policies and legislation that will help law enforcement and enhance public safety in New York."
State Senator Joe Griffo is urging Governor Kathy Hochul to thoroughly examine all the options available to the state for the disposal of unused NYS Clean sanitizer.
News of another attack on a correctional officer at a Central New York prison has a local state senator asking state officials what is being done to protect them.
