During the April 21 RIRA Public Safety March & Rally, Senator Serrano said:

... There is a major breakdown between the residents and Public Safety. There are incidents which obviously must be dealt with and investigated. But even more importantly, the fact that there is not a level of dialogue between Public Safety and the residents in a very constructive way, you then have a community which is less safe...

and urged passage of NY State legislation to create a Civilian Police Review Board which would include the Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department.
