The NYPD failed to properly audit stops by its citywide Community Response Teams from March 2023 to 2026, as required by court order. This significant compliance failure is particularly concerning in light of the high number of self-initiated stops done by CRTs (cont'd)

The Monitor’s 2025 Year-End Update found self-initiated stops by the NYPD continue to show low constitutional compliance. In the first half of 2025, those stops were lawful just 79% of the time, and searches following these stops were lawful only 53% of the time.

The Monitor’s audit of body-worn camera footage in the first quarter of 2025 showed officers failed to complete stop reports in 31% of stops, showing that officers continue to underreport stops. Read the Monitor’s Twenty-Eighth Report here: https://t.co/N0bv1k3j2Q.

This suggests continued inadequate supervision at the command level. Read the Monitor’s Twenty-Eighth Report here: https://t.co/N0bv1k3j2Q.

[NYPD Monitor @NypdMonitor]

In the first quarter of 2025, NYPD first-line supervisors failed to identify unlawful encounters, approving 99% of stops, 94% of frisks, and 92% of searches. By contrast, the Monitor found only 86% of stops, 69% of frisks, and 68% of stops lawful.

However, more time is needed to see if long-term improvement will be achieved. Read the Monitor’s Twenty-Sixth Report here: https://t.co/aVlsUpZ6Sy

The NYPD’s ComplianceStat shows promise as an accountability effort. The program is the first initiative in which borough and command supervisors to face meaningful consequences for ineffective supervision.

[NYPD Monitor @NypdMonitor]

The NYPD’s EIP response to stop, frisk, and search violations has been ineffective. Commanding Officers rarely recommended interventions and imposed interventions had little structured follow-up and were shown to have no impact on officers’ constitutional compliance.

Discipline was either instructions, training, or the lowest sanction for misconduct. Read the Monitor’s Twenty-Sixth Report here: https://t.co/aVlsUpYz30

[NYPD Monitor @NypdMonitor]

Although the NYPD’s audit unit, the Quality Assurance Section, flagged deficiencies in NYPD stop, frisk, and search practices, command response was insufficient. Officers overwhelmingly had no or minimal discipline imposed:

Efforts to improve accountability, such as the Early Intervention Program, also have had little success. Read the Monitor’s Twenty-Sixth Report here: https://t.co/aVlsUpZ6Sy

[NYPD Monitor @NypdMonitor]

The NYPD’s internal remedies for unconstitutional stops, officer training and re-training, have been ineffective. Supervisors have not been held accountable, with few, if any, consequences for failure to address unlawful stops by officers.

The Monitor’s audit found that the NYPD’s Community Response team stopped Black and Hispanic men in overwhelming numbers. In the audit, 97% of individuals stopped, frisked, and searched were Black or Hispanic men.
