Cuomo's call for cops to get involved came just hours after he requested that the State Education Department also look into what happened at the East Middle School in Binghamton on Jan. 15.
The strip searches, which were apparently conducted by the school nurse and an assistant principal, have caused outrage in Binghamton, with several protests being thrown near the school over the past two weeks.
Progressive Leaders of Tomorrow, a local activist organization that has pushed for an investigation, welcomed the governor’s call for action.
