I wanna know what the what are the rates of NYPD agreeing with the recommendations given by the DOI?
0:56:08
And how does that compare to other agencies?
Jocelyn Strauber
0:56:13
So the rates from let me just get
Gale A. Brewer
0:56:15
to the actual statistic for you.
Jocelyn Strauber
0:56:15
So looking at recommendations, last three reports that we did are not included here because the police department has 90 days to respond.
0:56:34
And I wanna also give you a little bit of information about how we calculate this so so the numbers, you know, make sense.
0:56:41
We had 240 recommendations that we issued from 2015 to 2025.
0:56:47
And the categories we use are implemented, partially implemented, accepted in principle, which means, yes, we've accepted this, but not necessarily that the department has taken steps, to actually implement it.
0:57:04
For for those we we group those 3 categories I just mentioned to you, implemented, partially implemented, and accepted in principle.
0:57:11
And that rate is 67.5 percent for the police department.
0:57:16
The other categories are they're still considering the recommendation, they've rejected it, or it no longer applies.
0:57:24
The largest category there is rejected, which is 30.8%.
0:57:30
In terms of how that compares, my understanding is the agency wide rate and we could break it down, you know, agency by agency.
0:57:38
Well, I shouldn't say that we could.
0:57:40
It's probably not as easy as I think.
0:57:41
But the agency wide rate of implementation calculated using those those brackets I just gave you is about 85%, I believe, at least the last time I ran those numbers, which was not, you know, yesterday.
0:57:55
So it it and it does fluctuate depending on we issue a big report with a large number of recommendations.
0:58:01
It can really the numbers can swing.
0:58:03
But but they are based on this calculation, they are below, other other agencies citywide.
0:58:12
And if if if I have to tweak that when I run the other numbers, I'll let you know.
0:58:15
But I but that's that's my understanding.
Yusef Salaam
0:58:17
So in in, principle, how many in principle would be the number you said it?
Jocelyn Strauber
0:58:22
67% in police department.
0:58:25
More more about about more more in the 80 in the eighties for the rest of city agencies to whom we make recommendations.
