NYPD to report use of force to public amid City Council drama

‘While the New York City Council and NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton battle over police reform bills, three managed to be approved. One requires four detailed reports a year on use-of-force incidents, including the type of force and locations.
These three bills passed Thursday could change the transparency of the New York Police Department. In a week following anti-police brutality protests and tensions between civilians and law enforcement over the use of force, it is a small win for New York’s City Council.
The use of force reporting legislation passed 40-4. As a result, NYPD will be required to publicly report uses of force four times a year. The reports will include details about the force used, the precincts where it happened and any resulting injuries to civilians or police. In addition, cops will have to give a reason for stops that led to use of force.’
