Today, Troy McAlister was arraigned on numerous felony charges, including vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated charges for the deaths of Hanako Abe and Elizabeth Platt. My office and I are distraught over this horrific tragedy.
With that said, I do not envy the position you hold, or the gravity of that position and the very difficult decisions you have to make. And I applaud your efforts to find new and better solutions.

As you continue your efforts on reform, I would simply ask to heed the advice of both police and the community. A big first step imho is helping build trust between the two and holding both accountable (not solely demonizing the police as many do under the guise of “trust”).

At the end of the day, as you well know, it’s not the activists, the politicians, or deep money - but the police and the community who will be impacted by your decisions, for better or worse. I thank you for your service and for owning the responsibility that comes with it.
