PBA Public Safety Tracker

Policy Actions Have Consequences on the Street

New York City police officers come to work each day with one goal in mind: to make every block in every neighborhood safe for every New Yorker. We’ve made tremendous gains over the past two decades, but the job is far from finished.

NYC’s real public safety experts are people like you. You see what’s happening on your block, and you hear every day  about crime and disorder occurring around the city.  You know that the "Safest Big City in America" doesn't feel that way in every neighborhood.

The only public safety and policing agenda that should matter is yours — but all too often, that’s not the agenda being discussed on the steps of City Hall. The result is bad public safety policy that normalizes criminal behavior and deprives police officers on the street of the tools we need to protect you, your family and your neighbors.

This public safety tracker will highlight notable crime incidents in context, alongside current crime trends and the broader policy discussion.  You can use this information to make sure your voice is heard: speak out about conditions in your neighborhood, contact your elected officials and tell them they need to make safe streets a priority.

Sign up to receive PBA updates on important public safety issues.

Share your thoughts about conditions in your neighborhood (To report specific crimes, call 911. To report specific quality-of-life issues, dial 311 or contact your Neighborhood Coordination Officer).

If you’re wondering why not a week now goes by without news of another perv groping, grinding, exposing or even attacking innocents on the subway, well: Blame the state Assembly.

 

The NYPD puts a high priority on nabbing these sickos. But while it can arrest them and provide evidence that leads to a conviction, it can’t keep them off the trains or out of the stations because state law has no provision for an outright ban of even the worst serial offenders.

Penetrate the secrecy shield: New York State law must stop hiding police disciplinary records from public view
5/8/2019

This summer will mark the five-year anniversary of Eric Garner’s death at the hands of a New York City police officer, who used what would be a fatal chokehold on Garner as he pleaded for breath on a Staten Island sidewalk. Since that day in July 2014, calls for greater police accountability in New York City and across the state sparked by Garner’s death have been stymied by an unusual secrecy provision in New York’s civil rights code.

State lawmakers have the power to change that — and must act before the legislative session ends in June.

Don’t let activists and lawyers weaponize police-discipline records

Among these is a technical matter with enormous impact on law ­enforcement and first responders in every city, town, village and county in New York.

To wit, there’s an effort underway to make publicly available the personnel files of police, firefighters and other uniformed civil servants. The Sergeants Benevolent Association, the diverse union I have the honor of leading, has been steadfast in its public opposition to this proposal. It’s a reckless measure that is bound to adversely ­impact law and order across the Empire State.

N.Y. just helped drug traffickers: Bail reform will make it impossible for prosecutors to hold members of cartels while we build the cases against them
4/11/2019

New Yorkers will be shocked to discover that a new bail statute, passed as part of the state budget, mandates pretrial release of hundreds arrested for top narcotics crimes. Unless a defendant faces a single, seldom-charged narcotics offense, the new law requires judges to treat cartel associates the same as low-level street dealers when it comes to bail. This change arrives in the midst of an opioid epidemic, when overdoses are killing thousands of New Yorkers each year, far more than all violent crimes combined.

This legislative language represents a stunning departure from Gov. Cuomo’s original proposal — which would have allowed remand on all top narcotics offenses and factored into decisions about holding people the danger an individual posed to another, as well as the likelihood they might not return to face trial — and undermines efforts to rein in the flow of deadly drugs to our state.

Lancman, the head of the council’s justice system committee and a candidate for Queens DA, wrote a letter to all five city district attorney offices last week expressing his concern that warrants on summonses had started to increase after a steep drop following the passage of the Criminal Justice Reform Act.

NYPD brass is dragging its feet on a pair of City Council proposals to protect the children of incarcerated parents or caregivers.

2/7/2019

The New York City Council's Committee on Public Safety convened on Thursday to discuss a sweeping package of bills to improve police accountability for officer misconduct, sparking impassioned testimonies from relatives of victims and accusations of apathy by police officials.

Let NYC see police records, now: We must reform state law keeping disciplinary actions secret
2/7/2019

In 2018, crime in New York City hit another record low. In 1990, there were more than 2,200 murders; last year, fewer than 300.

 The NYPD produced these historic gains with a systemic focus on the people and places driving crime.

 The next-level crime reduction will be achieved by working with community members, candidly discussing problems and sharing responsibility for safety together.

 This is the vision behind our neighborhood policing philosophy, and since its introduction in 2015, we have forged deeper connections with the people we serve, in every community.

2/7/2019

After rolling out a feature on Google Maps and Waze to warn users of upcoming police speed traps and DWI checkpoints, Google has run afoul of the NYPD, who have sent a cease-and-desist letter demanding the features be removed.

"Accordingly, we demand that Google LLC, upon receipt of this letter, immediately remove this function from the Waze application."

New York Tackled Subway Crime. But Is It Starting to Come Back?
2/4/2019

In January, a sleeping rider was stabbed in the head with a screwdriver on New York City’s subway. A month before that, a police officer fended off five homeless men who attacked him on a train platform. And on Sunday afternoon, a man was fatally shot at a subway station in Queens, the first recorded murder on the system in six months.

The subway has come a long way since the dark days of the 1980s and 1990s when violence was rampant and riders felt constant dread. The system has become very safe, with just one murder on the subway last year compared with 26 in 1990.

1/6/2019

About 300 more people came forward to report they were raped last year in New York City than the previous year, a sharp increase that officials theorize was fueled in part by the #MeToo movement.

Used syringes are littering this Upper Manhattan subway station
1/6/2019

These guys are taking the “H” train.

De Blasio wants to push for tougher bail for ex-cons
1/3/2019

Recidivist criminals committed nearly one of every five New York City murders last year — leading Mayor Bill de Blasio to express “real concerns about the parole system” on Thursday.

Former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton not sold on recreational pot
12/30/2018

Former Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said Sunday morning that the state will be “opening up Pandora’s box” if marijuana is legalized.

“At this particular time, I still strongly oppose it. I think there are too many unanswered questions,” Bratton told 970 AM host John Catsimatidis on his morning radio show, “The Cats Roundtable.” “We still don’t have effective capabilities in law enforcement to deal with the issue of driving while impaired by the use of marijuana. It is as addictive as any other drug.”

12/29/2018

A day after Mayor de Blasio promised to change the “reality” of syringe-strewn St. Mary’s Park “very, very quickly,” there was no panic in needle park.

Officials fear surge in stoned drivers if marijuana legalized
12/29/2018

Get ready for high times on the highway.

As New York moves toward legalizing recreational marijuana, the instances of motorists driving while stoned is likely to surge, if the past experience of weed-legal states is any indicator.

12/28/2018

De Blasio’s plan to safely dispose of used needles is failing
12/27/2018

Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan to have junkies toss their used syringes into special receptacles has failed to clean up drug-infested parks, and the bins are serving more as suggestion boxes — spreading the message that the city is OK with them shooting up there.

Official statistics obtained by The Post from the first six months of de Blasio’s controversial program show that parks in the Bronx are still littered with dangerous hypodermic needles, with nearly 60,000 found on the ground compared with just 7,000 in Hizzoner’s 44 locked containers.

12/27/2018

Brooklyn is stayin’ alive.

The borough is on track to end the year with fewer than 100 homicides for the first time in nearly 50 years, Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez announced today.

So far, there have been just 97 homicides in 2018, a record low since “modern” record-keeping began in 1970 — and a stark departure from the 800 reported slayings at the height of crack cocaine violence in 1992, his office said.

DA faults NYPD in call not to charge vagrants in subway platform melee
12/26/2018

Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. on Wednesday said it’s the NYPD’s fault that his office cut loose the homeless men caught on camera attacking a cop in a Manhattan subway station — because they were only busted for illegally sleeping on the platform, which no longer gets prosecuted under a 2016 accord.

Vance spokesman Danny Frost said prosecutors didn’t know the vagrants “were suspected of anything other than sleeping on the subway” when they got hauled into court Monday night — even though video of the attack, first reported by The Post, prompted multiple news reports earlier in the day.

12/19/2018

Hundreds of low-level marijuana convictions are going up in smoke.

Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced Wednesday that he’s following through on plans to wipe out more than 1,400 warrants in misdemeanor weed possession cases, as well as over two dozen past convictions.

12/17/2018

An NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau review concluded that police officers did nothing wrong when they dragged a one-year-old boy away from his mother at a Brooklyn public service assistance center earlier this month.

Opinion—NYPD in view: Police records must be made public
12/17/2018

New York's highest court last week declared that even heavily redacted police disciplinary records can be hidden from public view. It was a dark day for anyone who cares about holding the minority of cops who abuse their authority accountable — which should be everyone.

The dispute centers around a four-decade-old law referred to as 50-a, which limits public access to police and firefighters' disciplinary records.

NYPD Tests Out Metal Detectors In The Subway
12/14/2018

A year ago this week, a man detonated a pipe bomb during rush hour inside the passageway connecting the Times Square and Port Authority subway stations. It was the first attempted suicide terrorist attack in NYC since September 11th, although only two people, including the bomber, were hurt. Coinciding with the anniversary, the NYPD rolled out a new security pilot program inside Port Authority: a singular subway metal detector, manned by heavily-armed officers.

The metal detector was installed on Wednesday, the anniversary of Akayed Ullah's pipe bomb attack. As with the NYPD's bag search program, the department says subway riders are chosen randomly for the enhanced screening. NYPD Transit tweeted about it, along with the intimidating photo up above, "Our officers working with our @PANYNJ Police partners this morning at the Port Authority Bus Terminal / 42nd Street subway station in our constant effort to keep travelers safe." Twitter users immediately mocked it, calling it a "nuisance" and a "huge show of security theater."

“The officers yelled, ‘Police, don’t move! Drop the gun!’” Harrison said. When the man pointed his gun at the officers, one of the cops fired a single round, hitting the man in the chest.

Pedro Hernandez — cause célèbre for bail reform — arrested again
12/12/2018

Pedro Hernandez, who became a bail reform darling after he spent a year at Rikers Island because he was unable to post the money needed for his freedom, was arrested Wednesday for driving with a suspended license, police said.

It is the third time he’s been arrested for driving without a valid license in the past two years, sources said.

Cops stopped Hernandez, 19, shortly after noon after he was seen driving a BMW with no front license plate on Bronxwood Ave. near E. 213th St. in Williamsbridge. The car’s rear license plate didn’t match the vehicle and may have been stolen, police sources said. When cops ran his driver’s license, they realized it was suspended.

Trio Of Troubling Incidents Shines Light On NYPD Training Procedures
12/12/2018

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Video of the violent arrest of a young mother in Brooklyn is just one of several incidents over the past week weighing on the nation’s largest police force.

Is it just a string of bad luck? Or rather systematic problems finally coming to light for the NYPD?

EXCLUSIVE: NYPD can't bar officers on modified duty, like chokehold cop Daniel Pantaleo, from overtime
12/11/2018

Police brass can no longer bar officers accused of misconduct from earning overtime, the Daily News has learned.

An arbitration board has reversed the NYPD’s order that cops who have been stripped of their guns and shields and assigned to desk duty as they face internal disciplinary action are not eligible for overtime unless no one else is available to do their assignment.

Mother whose baby was torn away by NYPD will have charges dropped
12/11/2018

Charges will be dropped against the mother whose 1-year-old son was forcefully yanked away by New York Police Department officers last week, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said in a statement on Tuesday.

Jazmine Headley, 23, was arrested Friday at a Brooklyn social services office and faced four charges, including resisting arrest and acting in a manner injurious to a child.

Discipline Records of New York Police to Stay Secret, Court Rules
12/11/2018

The latest legal effort by civil rights advocates to force the New York Police Department to make disciplinary records of police officers public failed on Tuesday in the state’s highest court.

Robert F. Kennedy mass bailout program is ‘lunacy’: NYPD union head
12/9/2018

The head of the NYPD’s sergeants’ union on Sunday blasted the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights charity for bailing out hundreds of accused criminals — many with histories of violence.

“It’s lunacy,” Sergeants Benevolent Association President Ed Mullins said on AM 970’s John Catsimatidis’ “The Cats Roundtable” radio show. “They are beginning to develop a history of posting bail for individuals who are not returning to court, who have a history of crimes.”

The foundation spent $1.2 million to bail out 105 women and teens from Rikers Island in October — despite their criminal histories or charges the faced.

Critics call NYPD's drone deployment 'a serious threat to privacy'
12/9/2018

Drones are coming to New York City, and that should worry you. 

So argues the New York Civil Liberties Union, which in a Dec. 7 statement blasts the forthcoming NYPD deployment of the flying surveillance bots as "a serious threat to privacy." The 14 police drones, which the New York Times reports had been acquired by city police in June, are ostensibly to be used for tasks like keeping an eye on large crowds or hostage situations. However, critics see the deployment as the start of a very slippery, privacy-eroding slope. 

After all, large crowds of people often gather together to lawfully protest something like, say, police brutality. Or, as the NYPD specifically notes as a drone-appropriate example (according to the NYCLU), the Women's March. 

NYPD: Deadly crime more than doubled in 50th Precinct over last year
12/6/2018

KINGSBRIDGE - Deadly crime has more than doubled within the 50th Precinct over the last year, according to the NYPD.

The department says it has seen seven homicides in 2018 so far, compared to three in 2017.

NYPD counterterrorism chief says today’s threats are “two inches deep but miles wide”
12/5/2018

Even though the territories held by extremist groups like al Qaeda and ISIS have been eroded, the groups' global propaganda reach is still proving to be an effective recruitment tool, inspiring uncomplicated but deadly terror attacks on U.S. soil, according to the head of the New York Police Department's Intelligence and Counterterrorism bureaus.

"[T]he unintended consequence of our effectively smashing ISIS and al-Qaeda – the pieces scattered," said Deputy Commissioner of Intelligence and Counterterrorism John Miller in a recent interview with Intelligence Matters host and CBS News senior national security contributor Michael Morell.

Send in the drones: NYPD launches its new 'unmanned aircraft' system
12/4/2018

The NYPD is buzzing about it’s new fleet of drones — but not all of the buzz is good.

The department announced Tuesday that it has acquired 14 drones that will be soon be deployed across the city during emergencies, officials said.

The NYPD’s Technical Assistance and Response Unit will be utilizing the drones to assist in rescue missions, inaccessible crime scenes and hostage situations.

“As the largest municipal police department in the United States, the NYPD must always be willing to leverage the benefits of new and always-improving technology,” NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill said in a statement. “Our new (unmanned aircraft system) program is part of this evolution.”

NYC crime takes November dip to lowest levels — including lowest number of homicides for the month in modern era
12/4/2018

The NYPD enjoyed a November to remember as monthly crime figures indicated that 2018 could set a record low for crimes in a calendar year.

The safest November in modern NYPD history ended last week with a 5% overall decrease in crime compared with November 2017. Police said the drop was spurred by a 15.8% drop in burglaries and an 11.8% plunge in robberies.

“The NYPD has once again done what a lot of people said was impossible,” said Mayor de Blasio. “(Last year) was a record year for lower crime — and the NYPD is starting to surpass that record.”

Critics of NYPD disciplinary process push for dramatic changes
12/2/2018

Critics of the NYPD’s handling of disciplinary cases want a panel reviewing the system to give the task to an outside agency.

But moving NYPD administrative trials to the Office of Trials and Hearings — which conducts hearings for all city workers except police officers and teachers — would face multiple hurdles, including either a legal change, or deputizing the agency’s judge to preside over NYPD trials.

And it’d likely spark stiff opposition from the city’s biggest police union, the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, whose president, Pat Lynch, defends police administrative judges as the best arbiters of NYPD rules and practices.

These Are NYC's Most Crime-Ridden Subway Stations
11/25/2018

Hundreds of crimes occurred in and around a handful of stops last year, a recent report shows.

Women Pay More to Get Around NYC Than Men: Study
11/16/2018

Women generally experience more forms of harassment than men and it’s costing us: Data from a new study shows that, on average, women pay more to get around New York City than men do due to safety reasons. Looks like there’s a Pink Tax on transportation, too.

A new study from the New York University Rudin Center for Transportation suggests that the median extra transportation cost per month for women, due to safety reasons, is between $26 to $50.

10/1/2018

The close of the third quarter saw homicides in New York City spike by six percent over the same period last year, despite a relatively safe summer and a small drop in overall serious crime from 2017, according to the latest NYPD statistics.   

Homicides through Sept. 30 totaled 228 compared to 215 in the same period for 2017, a year that ended with 292 homicide and manslaughter cases — a record low for killings in the modern era of police record keeping.

7/26/2018

— Wall Street Journal: Politicians and advocates in major cities are scrutinizing police departments for the way they label and track suspected gang members, saying the methods lack oversight and unfairly expose minorities to the criminal justice system.

How a 'Sentiment Meter' Helps Cops Understand Their Precincts
7/16/2018

THREE WEEKS INTO his new job as commanding officer of Manhattan’s 20th precinct, Captain Timothy J. Malin stared at a map on his computer screen, puzzled. It showed his jurisdiction carved up by streets and parks, with the southern edge encased in an ominous shade of red.

For decades, the New York Police Department has used real-time statistics to chart spikes in violence and calibrate police activity across the city. This map, however, displayed not crime data but something new in the arsenal of police metrics: public approval. The crimson on Malin’s map indicated that some residents in his precinct, the Upper West Side—one of New York City’s wealthiest and safest neighborhoods—reported feeling little trust in his officers. It was Malin’s job to figure out why. “I look at that, and I am like, ‘Okay? What’s causing this?’” he said.

Show and tell: The NYPD should make a good-faith effort to comply with the Manhattan DA's request for data
7/15/2018

The NYPD and Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance’s office are locked in a bitter standoff over what information cops will turn over to prosecutors, and when and how that handoff happens.

The DA wants systematic electronic access to police disciplinary records and investigative files, including witness reports, to understand cases’ strengths and weaknesses, drop charges when appropriate, and, when the law requires, share evidence with defense attorneys. The police say they’re already being perfectly responsive, and claim Vance is overreaching dangerously by trying to get an unfiltered pipeline into the most sensitive files.

Confronting Implicit Bias in the New York Police Department
7/15/2018

An unarmed black man holding a cellphone, Stephon Clark, is fatally shot in his grandmother’s backyard in Sacramento and residents ask whether the officers only saw race when pulling their triggers 20 times.

Saheed Vassell, a mentally ill black man waving a pistol-shaped metal car part at pedestrians, is gunned down by police officers on a street in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and the outrage focuses on whether deep-seated prejudices fueled the quick use of deadly force.

Two black men are led in handcuffs from a Starbucks in Philadelphia and alarm bells go off: Had the officers unconsciously adopted the racial bias of the store employee who called the police?

While explicit bias remains part of the fabric of life in the United States, elected leaders and chiefs of police have increasingly focused on what is often called implicit bias, inherently unintentional yet more pervasive.

A Golden opportunity: to keep life-saving speed cameras alive

We sure hope the whiplash didn't hurt state Sen. Marty Golden too much.

Will politicians let the NYPD stop the Bronx homicide wave?
7/12/2018

An 8 percent jump in homicides citywide is troubling; more worrisome is that it’s driven by a nearly 65 percent spike in the Bronx. We trust the NYPD to turn the numbers around — but can only hope it will have the full support of local politicians.

To be fair, the percentage increase is so big mostly because New York’s Finest have brought crime so far down over the last quarter-century: The 51 homicides in the Bronx in the first six months of the year is up just 20 over the same period in 2017.

De Blasio lets fellow pols blindside O’Neill during NYPD crime briefing

6/21/2018

City Limits: “Official stop numbers have plummeted since a groundbreaking federal lawsuit in 2013 ruled the NYPD’s stop and frisk tactics unconstitutional. But those statistics only reflect the most serious type of stop. Other encounters which don’t meet the standard of a high-level stop take place without leaving a trace in the public record. While the NYPD calls such stops “low-level,” advocates say they can still leave residents feeling intimidated and targeted, such as when the officer approached Dister and his friend.”

What kind of horror will it take for the Assembly to OK banning serial pervs from the subway?
