Ward Indicted in Police Training Critique After Rensselaer Shooting
The Rensselaer County Grand Jury indicted Lawrence H. Ward on four counts while finding the city police inadequately trained and supervised in the use of deadly force. The panel did not indict individual officers, though it issued a special report critiquing procedures and urging the department to adopt the Bureau for Municipal Police rules and training guidelines. The resignation of Police Chief Charles Stewart followed the investigation.
