Griffo Named To Senate Task Force On Counterterrorism

Senator Joseph Griffo has been named to the state Senate's new Task Force on Counterterrorism and Public Protection.

The Task Force will analyze current counterterrorism and public protection measures that have been put in place since September 11th, 2001.

"I want to thank the Senate Majority Leader for his confidence in having me serve on this Task Force to improve our state’s counterterrorism measures, said Griffo.  From my time serving on the Senate Homeland Security Committee, as well as my focus on public protection during my service in local government, I understand the need to always be vigilant against threats to our people and infrastructure."

The Task Force will also make recommendations for future legislative and administrative actions that will promote the improved public safety of all New Yorkers.

A final report with findings, conclusions and recommendations will also be published.
