ITHACA, NY (CortacaToday) — Tompkins County legislators are looking back at Reimagining Public Safety. 

Legislator Rich John says the initiative has seen success. 

RPS was a 3-year pilot program that launched in 2021. Borne out of RPS was the Community Justice Center, which John hopes will have a place in next year’s county budget.

Several budget meetings are being held by Tompkins County legislators through the remainder of October.
