New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Monday ordered a sweeping review of the NYPD’s use-of-force policies, the first such review in a decade, and announced additional measures intended to strengthen police accountability.
The package includes $2.6 million in additional funding for the Office of the Inspector General for the NYPD, which investigates department policies and misconduct. The city also plans a notification system aimed at completing disciplinary hearings before officers retire and will formalize notifications to state officials when officers leave the department with disciplinary charges pending. Mamdani also renewed calls for compliance with state reporting requirements involving police-related deaths.
City Hall said the measures followed the retirement of an officer who faced internal disciplinary charges in connection with the 2024 fatal shooting of 19-year-old Win Rozario during a reported mental health crisis. The officer retired before a disciplinary proceeding could take place. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch attributed the failure to notify the Civilian Complaint Review Board during the retirement process to human error and apologized.
The announcement also came as progressive officials and groups pressed Mamdani for stronger oversight of the police department, including criticism of the NYPD’s response to protests following a recent shooting involving a federal immigration officer. A city spokesperson said the reforms were not connected to that response.
