"NYPD Deputy Commissioner Backs Council's Police Transparency Bill Amid Mayor's Veto Showdown"

Former NYPD deputy commissioner Dr. Tracie Keesee and 10 other former law enforcement officials publicly support the How Many Stops Act, a police reporting bill vetoed by Mayor Eric Adams. The bill requires police to report all investigatory stops and provide demographic data, aiming to address the city’s history of unconstitutional stops targeting Black and Latino men. The mayor argues the bill would burden officers and compromise public safety, while sponsors claim it could be easily implemented. The City Council is expected to override the mayor’s veto, intensifying the ongoing battle over police transparency.
