The NYPD in 2016 promised to bring on 415 civilian employees, a cost-saving measure that would allow uniformed officers to shift back to law-enforcement. According to an audit released by City Comptroller Lander, it’s not clear if that ever happened.
promised to bring on 415 civilian employees, but almost six years on it’s not clear if that ever happened, according to an audit released Friday by City Comptroller Brad Lander.
It’s the first audit published since Lander assumed the role of New York City Comptroller on Jan. 1, though the report was completed by staffers under Scott Stringer, the office’s former head. As a City Council member, Lander was a vocal proponent of defunding the police in the wake of George Floyd's murder and the protests that ensued on New York City streets.
NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Public Information John Miller said Friday that the department was still waiting for approval from City Hall to make additional civilian hires — something he said was communicated to Lander's office. The comptroller’s audit tried to ascertain how many civilian employees had been brought on to the agency between 2015 and 2019. But reports the NYPD sent to the City Council conflicted with ones it provided to the Comptroller. Various sets of data the NYPD sent to the comptroller’s office also appeared to conflict with each other, the audit found.
