LOCKPORT, N.Y. — New York Attorney General Letitia James' Special Investigations and Prosecutions Unit on Friday released its report on the death of Troy Hodge.

Hodge, 39, died in June 2019 following a confrontation with Lockport police officers and Niagara County sheriff’s deputies. 

The report found that there was “insufficient evidence to establish that a crime had been committed” by the responding officers.

Back in June 2019, Hodge's girlfriend said he was not acting like himself because of medication. Authorities said Hodge was hallucinating and not acting rationally. Officers restrained Hodge until an ambulance arrived.

Police body camera and dashboard camera footage of the encounter was released last December.

The report released Friday includes recommendations such as a review of the Lockport Police Department’s “Use of Force” policy, and training all officers to ensure that symptoms like the ones Hodge displayed “are recognized as a serious medical condition that merits a more robust emergency response.”

“I extend my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Troy Hodge,” AG James said in a press release. “We engaged in an extensive and complete review of the facts in this case and determined that there was not sufficient evidence to prove that a crime had been committed. However, the actions of some of the officers raised serious concerns and should not go unaddressed. By narrowly tailoring the “Use of Force” policy and training law enforcement to recognize signs of distress as a medical emergency, we can lessen the risk associated with high-stress situations such as the one we are addressing today. Troy Hodge’s death was a tragedy and we hope that the Lockport Police Department and the Niagara County Sheriff’s Office will implement the recommendations we have made in our report.”
