Dr. Khalid outlines the recent expansions to the CCRB's jurisdiction and responsibilities, emphasizing the need for additional resources to address these new areas effectively.

Right to Know Act passed in 2018
Authority to investigate truthfulness of statements made to CCRB granted in 2019
Jurisdiction expanded to include racial profiling and bias-based policing allegations in 2021
New areas of jurisdiction accounted for over 13% of allegations received in 2024

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.

3:22:31

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