NYPD Resource Guide Introduction The purpose of this document is to outline the current practices of the New York City Police Department (NYPD) for the Reform and Reinvention Collaborative Working Group, following a comprehensive review of the current state of the NYPD that took place in the late summer and early fall of 2020. The NYPD prepared this reference guide in the interest of transparency. This guide provides a base-line education for any Working Group reader on the reform efforts undertaken by the current administration, throughout an era of rapid changes in policing and criminal justice. It maps the State’s Executive Order and associated Guidance1 to today’s NYPD. This guide is intended to provide a current-state status, or a snapshot in time, of all mandatory and permissive subjects in the New York State Reform and Reinvention Collaborative Guidance, in order to inform the Working Group’s focus and resource allocation going forward. In that regard, this document does not purport to be a complete overview of NYPD policy, practice, training, or programmatic approaches to public safety, but is instead limited in scope to subjects at issue in the Executive Order. The information contained herein in is largely publicly available, but is not otherwise available in an aggregate form. The NYPD is the

  • OAG Hearing on Interactions Between NYPD and the General Public Submitted Written Testimony
    OAG Hearing on Interactions Between NYPD and the General Public Submitted Written Testimony Tahanie Aboushi | New York, New York I am counsel for Dounya Zayer, the protestor who was violently shoved by officer D’Andraia and observed by Commander Edelman. I would like to appear with Dounya to testify at this hearing and I will submit written testimony at a later time but well before the June 15th deadline. Thank you. Marissa Abrahams | South Beach Psychiatric Center | Brooklyn, New York As a nurse, it has been disturbing to see first-hand how few NYPD officers (present en masse at ALL peaceful protests) are wearing the face masks that we know are preventing the spread of COVID-19. Demonstrators are taking this extremely seriously and I saw NYPD literally laugh in the face of a protester who asked why they do not. It is negligent and a blatant provocation -especially in the context of the over-policing of Black and Latinx communities for social distancing violations. The complete disregard of the NYPD for the safety of the people they purportedly protect and serve, the active attacks with tear gas and pepper spray in the midst of a respiratory pandemic, is appalling and unacceptable. Aaron Abrams | Brooklyn, New York I will try to keep these testimonies as precise as possible since I know your office likely has hundreds, if not thousands to go through. Three separate occasions highlighted below: First Incident - May 30th - Brooklyn - peaceful protestors were walking from Prospect Park through the streets early in the day. At one point, police stopped to block the street and asked that we back up.

  • Nypd-The-Way-Forward.Pdf
    THE WAY FORWARD hen I came on the job as a Transit cop in 1983, New York City was seen as a dangerous place. Through the early 1990s, walking the streets or riding the train late at night felt like a gamble—even in a blue uniform. Few people would have guessed that the city would see such dramatic decreases in crime over the next couple Wof decades. But thanks to the tireless work of New York City police officers, this city is now a vastly safer place to live, to raise a family, to go out at night, or catch a train. The time I spent patrolling late-night trains and stations with the Transit Police taught me how to interact with every kind of person. I learned that we’re all alike. We all want the same things—to live in peace, to feel safe, to go home COPS to our families at the end of the day. That goes for our cops, as well. Neighborhood policing, which I instituted as chief of department in 2015, was shaped by my early patrol experiences and my later tours as an NYPD precinct commander. It’s been implemented in precincts across the city since May 2015, and it’s connecting our cops with the communities they serve in new and unprecedented ways. Community members are seeing the same police officers in their neighborhoods each day, and even learning their names, emails, and phone numbers, for use in emergencies or for addressing issues that require police attention. We have long asked police officers to interact more, to help more, to do more, but we never provided them with the time to do it.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 1. This action, brought by seven New Yorkers on behalf of a class of similarly situated people, challenges the New York City Police Department’s (“NYPD”) unconstitutional practice of detaining people for the purpose of conducting searches of NYPD internal and external databases (hereinafter “NYPD records search”) for records related to the person detained, including but not limited to warrants, investigation cards (hereinafter “I-cards”), orders of protection, arrest records, suspected gang affiliations, and suspected matches to open cases through predictive policing tools without individualized reasonable suspicion. 2. By exploiting surveillance technology, the NYPD has replaced traditional—and largely discredited—police practices such as stop and frisk with invasive digital searches Case 1:19-cv-02673-VEC Document 35 Filed 01/03/20 Page 2 of 28 that rely on surveillance systems to provide a detailed snapshot of people’s lives, from daily movements to financial footprints. 3. In order to conduct these unconstitutional searches, the NYPD utilizes systems, including the Domain Awareness System (“DAS”) the Z FINEST system, and the Criminal Group Database, that aggregate warrant and summons information and a wide range of other data.

    City of Philadelphia Crime Prevention & Violence Reduction Action Plan Philadelphia Police Department June 2020 Danielle M. Outlaw Police Commissioner The Philadelphia Roadmap to Safer Communities Page 1 Contents Our Current Crime Challenge 5 Current Strategies 7 Performance Goals: Violent Crime Reduction 9 Our Pillars 10 Operating Model Redesign: Information Flow & Strategic Collaboration 13 Action Plan 17 Conclusion 37 Page 2 Letter from the Commissioner On September 27, 2018, Mayor Jim Kenney issued an urgent “Call to Action” mandating that the Cabinet and senior leadership develop a plan to dramatically reduce homicides and shootings in the City of Philadelphia. Despite the City’s best efforts, property and violent crimes have continued to rise. Moreover, the numbers of homicides and shooting victims were at their highest levels since 2007 and 2010, respectively. Since my appointment as Police Commissioner, the Philadelphia Police Department has launched a progressive Crime Prevention and Violence Reduction Strategy. This strategy is based on research, thorough evaluation of current and past strategies, and input from internal and external stakeholders. Our findings illuminate the need to reinforce and expand our current “Operation Pinpoint” strategy by grounding our work in common goals - increase community safety, and enhance this strategic framework to foster effective collaboration to reduce violent crime. This report outlines our plan to curb violence in Philadelphia. This action plan is a living document that will be revisited and revised as conditions dictate, in order to best respond and serve the City of Philadelphia and our communities. As law enforcement professionals, we constantly adapt to ever changing landscapes whether driven by shifts in leadership, resources, community needs, the environment, law or technology.
