PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (WCAX) - The city of Plattsburgh held an emergency meeting Thursday afternoon to discuss alarming accusations of misconduct at the police department including racist language and fear-based leadership tactics. Most of the discussion regarding misconduct happened behind closed doors, with city officials citing personnel issues. However, Mayor Chris Rosenquest briefed the media afterward. He says the city plans to ask an outside labor council to look into the claims, specifically one regarding acting Police Chief Nathan York.
