1:58:32
Well, next question.
1:58:33
This is from council member, Sabina Brooks Powers.
1:58:38
This is for NYPD.
1:58:39
Does the NYPD have any data available specifically on missing children?
1:58:43
If so, does this include, data broken down by ace, rage, and and contributing factors?
1:58:51
If not, does NYPD track this data?
Josh Levin
1:58:55
Yes to 80% of that.
1:58:56
I don't know what contributing factors means.
1:58:58
Did they give any clarification on what that means?
1:59:00
Mm-mm.
Althea Stevens
1:59:00
Or other contributing factors, like, other things that might, go along with, like, why they might be missing other than, like, ace rage and
Josh Levin
1:59:09
Yeah.
1:59:09
So, the director just pointed out maybe mental health or something else related to that.
1:59:13
You'd have to dive into every individual case to figure that out.
1:59:16
But, yes, we do track by precinct age, race, gender.
Ina Mendez
1:59:23
Alright.
Josh Levin
1:59:24
It's a lot.
1:59:25
I'm just saying.
Althea Stevens
1:59:27
It's okay that it's a lot.
1:59:28
Like, I don't why why are we afraid of it being a lot?
1:59:31
Like, we that's it's important for us to know that it's a lot, so so then that gives us the information that we can fight for to get you more resources.
1:59:38
So I don't care if it's a lot, and I'm sorry that it's making your job higher.
