Police report that Black people make up 47% of involuntary transport.
Gothamist is funded by sponsors and member donationsthe NYPD to involuntarily transport to the hospital a broader range of people displaying signs of mental illness, police officials revealed Monday that officers are actually transporting fewer people than before.in November empowered NYPD and MTA police officers to remove people from the street and subways if officers deem they can’t meet their own basic needs for health and safety.
City Council members did not react to the removal numbers but did express alarm at other data Tobin shared – the demographic breakdown of those who were involuntarily transported: 47% Black and 19% white. “I am disturbed,” said Councilmember Carmen De La Rosa. “That right there, to me, seems like it is a system that continues to target people of color.”
In announcing the change last year, Adams said emergency responders previously could only take those to the hospital who were “violent, suicidal or presenting a risk of imminent harm.” The new directive, he said, would clear up any gray areas. Evidence of such inability to support oneself includes untreated injuries and delusions. After an evaluation at the hospital, clinicians decide if the person needs to be admitted.
