NYPD discipline and accountability reform

Oct 12 2026: Mamdani orders NYPD's first use-of-force review in a decade (community engagement process over coming months); announces $2.6M to triple Inspector General's staff for misconduct oversight; new notification system requires completion of discipline hearings before officer retirement; formal procedures to share final investigation reports with victim families on request; retiring officers with pending charges referred for state decertification to block rehire. Follows 2024 Win Rozario officer retirement + Oct 8 Belgal ICE shooting + progressive SRG-disband push. Reported use-of-force incidents: 4,087 (2016) → 12,348 (2025). Status remains in-progress: these are new processes, not yet outcomes.
