To: Governor Andrew Cuomo
NY State Scanner Bill
Governor Cuomo, sign the NY State Scanner Bill (Senate Bill S5337) into law and make SAFER JAILS NOW for New York City.
Why is this important?
In the past 2 months since both the New York State Senate and Assembly have passed the Scanner Bill (Senate Bill S5337), we have had multiple officers and inmates assaulted with deadly weapons and it continues to occur on an almost daily basis. This bill becoming law would have an immediate positive impact in making New York City Jails safer, but for now remains in limbo due to the inaction of Governor Cuomo.
