      Alan Abraham, representing Communities United for Police Reform, testified about ongoing racial disparities in NYPD's stop and frisk practices and other investigative encounters. He emphasized the importance of police transparency and accountability, particularly in light of recent data from the How Many Stops Act.

      • Highlighted racial disparities in Level 1 and Level 2 encounters, with Black and Latino New Yorkers disproportionately targeted
      • Criticized Mayor Adams and the NYPD for efforts to dismantle accountability and oversight mechanisms
      • Called for a transformation of the city's approach to public safety, minimizing reliance on law enforcement and investing in community services
