Requires the office of the mayor of a city with a population of one million or
more to produce an annual report listing all compacts, memoranda of
understanding or other agreements pertaining to any additional police services
and their associated cost.
BILL NUMBER:A8643A
TITLE OF BILL: An act to require the office of the mayor of a city
with a population of one million or more to produce an annual report
listing all compacts, memoranda of understanding or other agreements
pertaining to any additional police services and their associated cost
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF THE BILL: This bill would require
transparency on "additional policing" provided to private businesses
by NYPD.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section One states that in cities with a population of one million or
more, the office of the mayor is required to produce a report listing
any compacts that are ongoing or have been entered into within the
preceding 24 months to provide additional police services.
Section Two provides that "additional police services" shall mean
services provided by the police department in cities with a population
of one million or more pursuant to memoranda of understanding, private
contracts, or any other agreement with an entity other than the
government of the city, including, but not limited to, any agreement
that requires reimbursement, payment or transfer of funds to the
government of the city, including one of its agencies, from another
entity, public or private.
Section Three states that this act shall take effect immediately
JUSTIFICATION: There is a considerable lack of clarity around
additional police services supplied by the New York City Police
Department.
This bill would require that the City provide information on all
agreements to provide additional policing -- including through the
Paid Detail Unit, an NYPD division that provides off-duty police
personnel, in uniform, to private companies for an hourly fee. The
city would be required to annually report the cost (to the department
and the recipients), services provided, and policies for off duty
personnel in uniform (eg. on the use of racial profiling) of
additional police services.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New Bill
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Minimal fiscal impact.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
