Ron Adar/SOPA Images/Shutterstock Over the last several months, the NYPD has insisted that it is working to increase transparency and accountability ahead of an April 1st state deadline for police reforms. But at a City Council hearing on Tuesday, the NYPD’s leadership declined to publish more comprehensive data on police misconduct investigations. “The mayor’s plan promises full transparency in NYPD discipline, but the website the NYPD launched this week is limited to guilty findings from formal charges,” said Queens Councilmember Adrienne Adams, referring to the NYPD’s new officer misconduct database.
