NYPD Failed to Share Violent Crime Info With Public Housing Officials: DOI
(DNAINFO) Ben Fractenberg | December 8, 2015 — Police were violating an agreement with the city’s public housing agency by not fully informing housing officials about criminal activity within public housing or crimes committed by residents, the Department of Investigation found in a year-long investigation.
The NYPD had agreed in 1996 to share all arrest and complaint reports regarding criminal activity in more than 2,500 public housing buildings.
The NYPD is creating an interactive database to improve information sharing about criminal activity in public housing with NYCHA officials, police said in response to a DOI report released Tuesday.
