Summary
Halfmoon Town Justice Joseph Therriault introduced a proposal to create a centralized arraignment court (CAP) in Saratoga County. Operating in 35 other New York counties, a CAP court would streamline after-hours arraignments, ensure defendants have immediate access to counsel, and allow local police officers to return to patrol duties faster.
