Based on our review, OIGNYPD issued seven policy and procedure recommendations to NYPD in the 2023 post act report.
0:29:04
The recommendations advised NYPD to issue a new IUP for DigiDog and to update the addenda to the IUPs as noted above and also to limit grouping technologies in a single IUP to those technologies that are sufficiently similar in capability and manner of use.
0:29:23
Two of the recommendations propose that NYPD include mechanisms within the IUPs for tracking and monitoring uses of surveillance technologies and that each IUP should identify the potential impact of the surveillance technology on protected groups, measures that the post act does not require.
0:29:42
NYPD rejected those two recommendations, the ones that the post act does not require, and accepted the remaining five.
