The New York Civil Liberties Union released a report showing racial disparities in Irondequoit and Greece policing.
The report, based on information given by the police departments, says that in 2014, a third of all traffic stops in Greece involved black people, though only 6 percent of the town’s residents are black.
In Irondequoit, black people were involved in 38 percent of police stops in 2014, though only 9 percent of the town’s population is black.
The police chiefs from these two departments address the concerns raised in the report.
Guests:
--Iman Abid, NYCLU Genesee Valley Chapter Director
--Chief Richard Tantalo, Irondequoit Police Department
--Patrina Freeman, member of the planning committee for the Irondequoit Police Community Relations Forum
--Chief Patrick Phelan, Greece Police Department
