Quotes
Officials only, in order.
Now, your investigations often take more than a year. Now, in the meantime, the officers’ careers, promotions, and reputations are on hold. So why should we expand CCRB’s budget before it demonstrates that it can resolve cases faster and more consistently with the resources it already has?Phil Wong · District 3027:38rec. 2
From the PMMR, we saw the preliminary mayor’s management report. We saw that the rate of officers disciplined jumped substantially from 29% in the first 4 months of FY25 to 93% in the first 4 months of FY26.Oswald J. Feliz · Chair · District 1533:39rec. 2
I might have fully forgot what I wanted to say, but in the earlier testimony from the police commissioner, she noted that she was aligned with the CCRB’s ruling for 90% of the cases that she took on.Sandy Nurse · District 3735:35rec. 2
As you know, one of the prime drivers of the inflation of the Rikers population is the long delays and the extreme length of time criminal cases take to resolve.Oswald J. Feliz · Chair · District 1557:31rec. 2

How we count
Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 144 of 150 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
