This council has been instrumental in enacting meaningful changes in the CCRB jurisdiction.
3:21:18
For example, in 2018, this council passed the right to know act.
3:21:22
And in 2019, '70 '4 percent of New Yorkers voted for a proposition granting the CCRB authority to investigate truthful statement made to the CCRB.
3:21:37
In 2021, sit the council expanded the CCRB jurisdiction to include allegation of racial profiling and bias based policing.
3:21:47
These changes improve accountability and ensure police misconduct is comprehensively addressed.
3:21:55
But they also necessitate more resources.
3:21:58
Allegation from the new areas of jurisdiction accounted for more than 13% of the allegation received in 2024.
3:22:08
Over the years, CCRB responsibilities have grown significantly while budget and staffing level have not kept pace.
3:22:21
The solution here is not to suspend these investigation, but to invest in the CCRB to ensure comprehensive civilian oversight.

As I mentioned, I previously served on the CCRB from 02/2005 to 02/14.
