A new report by the independent monitor of the NYPD's Neighborhood Safety Teams accuses the units of stopping, frisking and searching people unlawfully. GainerTV has more on the statistics.
The report also found in the eight commands selected for the assessment that non-NST officers had a higher percentage of lawful stops than NST officers, which receive special training, like scenario-based constitutional policing, courtroom testimony, investigative encounters, car stop workshops, tactical training and community relations.The monitor reported NST officers had reasonable suspicion for only 73% of the frisks assessed and a legal basis for only 63% of searches assessed.
But the report did note that,"some commands have 100% compliance," and that they should serve as models. The NYPD says it is still reviewing the report but released a statement that reads,"The department disagrees with the conclusions of the monitor with respect to some of the encounters the team reviewed. NSTs engage with the public lawfully and constitutionally, and since the implementation of the program they have been instrumental in the reduction of shootings and homicides that the city is experiencing.
What will happen next is a more comprehensive review by the monitor team, and the NYPD must develop a plan for improved NST compliance within the next 30 days.
