Lawmakers and civil liberties advocates say increased oversight of the NYPD is needed as the city’s police watchdog reaches its statute of limitation on all cases of alleged police misconduct arising from the 2020 racial-justice protests.

Due to statewide emergency orders issued by then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the CCRB’s normal statute of limitations of 18 months was extended for the protest complaints, and others made during the pandemic, to May 4th, 2022. As of today, all cases need to be voted on by CCRB board members. “Perhaps this will be a moment when we can revisit some of the basic principles of civilian oversight, starting with taking some power away from the police department, giving it more to the CCRB so we can have real oversight,” Dunn added.
Dunn said new rules need to be put in place – either through legislation or regulation – that provide the CCRB with direct access to video recorded by officers’ cameras. “We need to get to a point where the CCRB does not have someone from the NYPD between it and essential department information.” “Additionally, all members of the anti-gun unit wear modified uniforms that clearly identify them as NYPD,” Levy said. “The NYPD is among the most monitored and regulated government agencies in the nation, and the mayor will ensure they follow the law just as they enforce it.”
The NYPD said the protests posed a challenge in documenting officer movements and that it has worked closely with the CCRB in providing information to identify officers.
