Chair Richard R. Buery Jr. asks if other independent factors, like policy changes or shifts in complaint types, could explain the change in commissioner agreement rates.
Abdul Nasser Rad states he would need to examine specific yearly data, considering events like the pandemic, but reiterates the consistent 20-year trend of low discipline rates.
Commissioner Dr. Lisette Nieves requests that any follow-up data analysis separate findings from before and after the implementation of body cameras.

Can I ask can I ask some I'm trying ask a slightly different way to see it?
2:17:54
Is there any other independent factor that you can think of that could lead to that have led to that change with our other policy changes, changes in the nature of complaints?
2:18:04
Are there any other data that you might be able to point to?
Abdul Nasser Rad
2:18:06
Yeah.
2:18:06
I mean, I I I would need to look at the specifics, and I'm happy to follow-up in detail with the commission afterwards.
2:18:12
We know that from year to year, there are changes.
2:18:15
So, specifically, I would need to know what year that was of commissioner O'Neill's tenure because there was, as we all know, the COVID pandemic and a bunch of other things.
2:18:25
So the nature of those offenses and those things do change.
2:18:28
So I would need to look at specifically with the year and then slice the data to understand
Richard R. Buery Jr.
2:18:32
Fair enough.
Abdul Nasser Rad
2:18:32
There were certain differences.
2:18:33
But, again, twenty years of data and over 80,000 complaints show you that this one is only administered in fewer than two percent of cases.
Dr. Lisette Nieves
2:18:43
When you submit that data, could you separate the data pre body cam usage and post body cam usage?
