Council Member Williams expresses concern about NYPD's rejection of 4 out of 6 recommendations from the overtime report, including developing a system to track off-duty employment and hiring a consulting firm to identify solutions. Commissioner Strauber provides potential reasons for these rejections.
- Further discussions about rejected recommendations will occur in the coming months
- Some recommendations may have been rejected because the work was being done in-house
- The department might view existing policies and procedures as sufficient in some areas

And I know you, will have your internal conversations coming up soon, but, the NYPD rejected 4 of the 6 recommendations from the overtime report, including ones that would have required the NYPD to develop a system to track off duty employment by officers and that the NYPD hire a consulting firm to identify solutions to mitigate those risks.

1:19:13
But I think for some of them, the view was there was no need for that kind of assessment, because it was being the the work of analyzing the impact of overtime was being done in house.
1:19:25
Some of the other ones may fall into the other category I described, which is they are the the department might take the view they're already doing enough in that area.
1:19:33
They've got enough policies and procedures in place.
1:19:35
So
