Chair Alexa Avilés questions the NYPD recommendation to notify operations of ICE presence and asks for clarification on the role of a 'patrol executive' sent to the scene.

Luisa Linares

And one of the recommendations submitted by the NYPD is to establish a protocol requiring that the communications division notify operations of any 911 calls related to the presence of federal immigration authorities or immigration matters.

Luisa Linares

And the recommendation says that a patrol executive will be sent to the scene.

Luisa Linares

What is a patrol executive?

Luisa Linares

Yeah, that's a great question.

Luisa Linares

That is information that we can share after we have more discussion with the NYPD and other IRC partners.

Luisa Linares

But do you do you know it as a uniform officer?

Luisa Linares

Is that it's is it do you know that it's gonna well you don't know that it's gonna be a separate person?

Luisa Linares

I the wording is interesting.

Luisa Linares

Yeah, that's something I'll have to get back to you on.

Luisa Linares

Okay.

Luisa Linares

Um so the I'll I'll save those follow-up questions for this patrol executive for uh that time.
