We have continued to pursue that work, issuing 4 reports in 2024 and preparing a 5th that was just issued yesterday despite a significant decrease staffing in the OIG NYPD, a challenge facing all of DOI's units and most city agencies.

The unit currently has 9 members, a nearly 44% decrease from the 16 members in 2023.

I note that in 2023, the unit also produced 4 reports.

So our productivity has remained consistent despite those staffing challenges.
