How Many Stops Training

May 17, 2023 @ 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm

 

Join AVP and our coalition partners Communities United for Police Reform (CPR) for an important training about the How Many Stops Act.

The training will be held virtually on Thursday, May 18th from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM. Read more about the act and register to attend below.

What is the How Many Stops Act?

(Provided by CPR)

The How Many Stops Act will bring critical and urgent transparency to the NYPD’s daily activities in New York City communities. It consists of two common sense, good government bills that will require a comprehensive accounting of all NYPD street stops, investigative encounters, and consent searches – including for the purposes of DNA collection – and ensure that the hard won Right to Know Act is protected. The data collected via these two bills is crucial for completing the picture of what policing really looks like in our City. 

Intro. 586: Reporting on All NYPD Stops and Investigative Encounters, sponsored by Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and Councilmember Alexa Aviles, will require the NYPD to report on all levels of police street stops and investigative encounters, including where they happen, demographic information on the person stopped, the reason for the encounter, and whether the encounter leads to any use of force or enforcement action.

Intro 538: Reporting on all police consent searches, sponsored by Councilmember Crystal Hudson, will provide New Yorkers will a full picture of the NYPD’s use of consent searches in our communities and shed light on whether or not the NYPD is adhering to Right to Know Act requirements by:

  • Guaranteeing that the NYPD cannot go back on its promise to report on declined searches by explicitly codifying a requirement for the NYPD to report data on all requests for consent to search, including all requests for consent that are refused and all consent searches that actually take place.
  • Requiring the NYPD to report on officers’ use of consent searches to collect DNA information from New Yorkers.
  • Requiring the NYPD to report on its officers’ use of interpretation services when seeking consent to search from people with limited English proficiency

Police transparency is an essential measure for holding NYPD accountable for discriminatory and abusive policing practices that criminalize and harm New Yorkers, in particular Black, Latinx and other New Yorkers of color, and make all New Yorkers less safe. The City Council must pass the How Many Stops Act! Ensuring greater NYPD transparency and accountability is fundamental to building a safer city for all New Yorkers.
