First hour: Police work in the age of cell phone cameras
Second hour: Upstate Revitalization Initiative
In many ways, police work is more under the microscope than it has ever been. There are cameras everywhere. Citizens capture almost everything on cell phone video. Many officers welcome that; but still others say that it makes doing their jobs occasionally difficult, feeling that a single incident can be captured, without context, and cost a career.
In our first hour, we'll sit down with Rochester Police Chief Michael Ciminelli to discuss how his officers feel about the scrutiny, and how to continue building a strong relationship with the local community. Our guests:
- Rochester Police Chief Michael Ciminelli
- Rochester Police Captain Kevin Costello
- Rochester Police Investigator Jackie Shuman
In our second hour, the Rochester/Finger Lakes region was one of three regions to win the state's big economic development prize money. That means a total of $500 million is coming from the state, to be used in various ways. How, exactly, will it be spent? How should it be spent? What kinds of impacts should we look forward to? In studio, to answer those questions and more:
- Joseph Morelle, New York State Assembly Majority Leader
- Vincent Esposito, Empire State Development Finger Lakes Regional Director
- Mark Peterson, Greater Rochester Enterprise President and CEO
