Mayor Announces Major Initiative to Enhance NYPD Mobile Communications

5 posts in this topic

NEW YORK—Mayor Bill de Blasio, Police Commissioner William J. Bratton, and Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., today announced a major initiative that will in many ways transform the way NYPD officers perform their duties. Using criminal asset forfeiture funds secured by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office through recent sanctions cases, the $160 million NYPD Mobility Initiative will provide NYPD officers with up to 41,000 mobile devices, including tablet computers and handheld devices that will streamline law enforcement efforts, increase the safety of New Yorkers as well as police officers, and ensure fairness within the City’s criminal justice system.

How about instead of throwing money and "technology" at the problem, why don't they spend it on better training for the officers. I think it's pretty common knowledge that the academy sucks... why not fix that?

I believe a new academy is under construction.

New Academy has already opened. Many of the units inside the academy have relocated to new building in Queens. The next class in January was suppose to be the first at the new building but because of the gym floor debacle the Jan class will be in the old building. So by January all training units will be in new building except new class. Only problem with new building so far, no mass transit to get there. One positive of the 20th st location was that you could get there using mass transit from just about everywhere saving on gas and toll money.

There is probably an app for that.
