Krupski can propose and vote on laws that affect the Suffolk County Police Department. As a body, the Suffolk County Legislature oversees the police department and can confirm or reject the county executive's choice for police commissioner. The legislature can also hold hearings and subpoena documents and witnesses.
Krupski, of Cutchogue, is a fourth-generation farmer who is serving his first full term in the legislature. Before winning a special election in January against Riverhead Supervisor Sean M. Walter, he was on the Southold town board since 2005. Before that, he was elected as a Southold town trustee.
Thank you for your survey. Your story regarding police misconduct and oversite touches upon serious issues and Newsday should be commended for focusing on them with such intensity.
As a result of Newsday's reporting, and because I take public safety very seriously, I will be considering whether there is a need for increased oversight, whether public hearings will be helpful and whether a civilian review board is an appropriate methold to review complaints of police misconduct.
Given pending litigation, however, I have been advised by the county attorney that it would be inappropriate to comment further or to otherwise respond to your survey at this time.
