    1. Recommendation of the NPPRRC: All New Paltz Government employees; New Paltz Town Board, Village Board of New Paltz and all entities under these jurisdictions and the town justices receive training in Undoing Racism presented by the People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond. It is also recommended that an in-service training be instituted annually as a refresher course and to capture any new hires by the same presenters. Peter Heymann heymann.peter@gmail.com, Tracy Givens-Hunter thgivens@gmail.com (Trainers from the People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond)
    2. Recommendation of the NPPRRC: The NPPD develop a practice of decrying misuse of force incidents anywhere in clear language and articulate how this department avoids similar acts through training, policy, and ethical commitments.
    3. Recommendation of the NPPRRC: The NPPD as an agency and the officers therein refrain from and contradict statements such as ‘Blue Lives Matter,’ as there is no such thing as a ‘blue life,’ there is a uniform which is worn by choice, while BIPOC are often deprived of choices through historic and current norms of policing. This includes visual speech such as flags and garments.
