The NYPD will transition its anti-crime units into other assignments including detective work and neighborhood policing, NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said Monday.

The change will affect roughly 600 plainclothes officers, he said, with officers in every precinct being reassigned as the department switches focus to community-based efforts. Some officers could also be put into detective roles or other positions.

"Thankfully, here in New York City, angry demonstrations have turned peaceful. Thoughtful discussions about reform have emerged," Shea said at a Monday afternoon news conference. "We welcome reform, but we also believe that meaningful reform starts from within."


quote:

The commissioner said work will still be done to get guns off the street, but through smarter methods, like technology and intel, rather than through things like raids targeted at those suspected of carrying weapons. Intelligence officers will continue working on targeting suspected gang leaders and weapons dealers. Shea also said that the department can do better and be safer for the public and for cops, while admitting he predicts a potential storm cloud ahead as shootings are up city-wide.

The community can do better too by not being goddamn criminals and shooting people all the time .. but nope.. it’s all on the racist bad apple cops. No accountability at all. None.

I'd be ok with banning unmarked police cars, including police cars with barely visible decals.

The hilarious part is that AOC is promoting an agenda that's absolutely against that technology.

Well what is “that” technology? Apparently it’s something if she’s bitching about it.

I was more or less resurrecting the dems plan to use TECHNOLOGY on the border without really elaborating

Calculated move. Crime stats will go through the roof and then the politicians and public will beg NYPD to go back to kicking arse. Only problem is that a bunch of innocent people are going to get robbed, killed and raped in the interim. The issue is that the NYPD is bowing to the demands of the screaming fringe. They need to think about the silent masses.

Isn’t that technology defunct at recognizing black people?

Wait, never mind I see the plan now

I'm willing to try anything if it proves to be successful.

People who are against any kind of change usually end up being wrong.

Nah

They'll cook the books and NYC will have become the safest City in the country to walk the street at 3 AM.

No way they let this get sunk by data.

Communities of color are about to get riddled with criminal activity.

Low level misdemeanor investigations, vice enforcement, and investigatory stops send a message to criminal opportunist that law enforcement is always watching and creates a reasonable fear/deterrent of apprehension.

When the leaders of these communities start preventing these deterrents from occurring, morally corrupt criminals will seize the opportunities. Add in easier access to drug markets and distribution of handguns and you will start seeing Chicago level violence in other cities.

I was called a leftist quack for advocating for this for YEARS. I am against unmarked cars, ghost decals, plain clothes officers and the majority of undercover operations (they almost exclusively go after victimless crimes)
