Council members briefly reopened a tabled letter to the police commissioner concerning an April 2024 crash involving a sheriff's vehicle and were told the matter is being investigated by the Niagara County District Attorney.

The police commissioner said the Buffalo Police Department provided available information to the county and that investigators have been tasked with contacting witnesses; some witnesses reportedly declined to speak further, while others agreed to cooperate. Council members asked whether the department had changed response or evidence-collection procedures since the April crash; the commissioner said department policies remain in place and that the committee could discuss procedural detail at a subsequent oversight meeting to avoid jeopardizing any ongoing investigation.

The committee opened the item for discussion and then voted to table it pending the county's investigation and additional information from police leadership.
