It is my hope today that I have communicated how critical a role the CCRB plays in overall sense of public safety in New York City.

As I have stated, the agency ability to fulfill our charter mandated responsibility have been significantly strained due to a static rise in complaints, expanding jurisdiction, and enhanced investigative quality.

These the requested budget increases not only a financial necessity but an investment in the right of New Yorkers.

Fully meeting the agency fiscal need will be instrumental measure to uphold the integrity of the civil civilian oversight.

I urge the council to provide the funding necessary to enable the CCRB to continue as his vital work and rise and rise to the responsibility entrusted to it by the people of New York City.
