The City Council Speaker is piling on police officers with a bill to give the Civilian Complaint Review Board’s biased, anti-police investigators direct access to body-worn camera footage, allowing them to second-guess police officers’ every move. The bill:
- IS NOT LEGALLY VIABLE: The NYPD cannot comply with the City Council bill without violating state law related to sealed arrests and prosecutions.
- IS UNNECESSARY: The NYPD has already streamlined its process for providing body-worn camera footage to CCRB. In 2019, the average time to turn over footage was 36 business days. Today, the average response time is just eight days.
- WILL WORSEN THE NYPD STAFFING CRISIS: The unfairness at CCRB is already a major factor driving dedicated police officers away from the NYPD.
+3,000 New York City police officers have already quit so far this year. Tell the City Council: don’t make the NYPD Staffing Crisis even worse.
