NYPD had no plan after disbanding anti-crime unit, ex-top cop says
NY Post
The NYPD didn’t have a plan to fill the void left by disbanding the controversial anti-crime unit tasked with firearm busts — a policing shift the former chief of department admitted Wednesday was “probably a mistake.”
“Obviously, we all know after Geroge Floyd, [there were] a lot of reforms, a lot of changes in the police department,” said Terence Monahan, formerly the NYPD’s highest-ranking uniformed officer who retired from the department in March. “One of which was getting rid of the anti-crime unit in the beginning of the summer.” “It was probably a mistake that we didn’t have a replacement in mind,” the cop-turned-senior advisor to Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a virtual event for the Association for a Better New York, a nonprofit business organization.More Related News
