Joseph questions NYPD on Youth Coordination Officers
Councilmember Joseph asks about Youth Coordination Officers (YCO), with LaPetrie reporting 177 YCOs. Joseph asks about pending investigations against YCOs and arrest/summons data, with Tisch committing to provide the data.
Thank you, Chairs.
I have a question around YCO.
How many youth coordinators do you have within the NYPD?
Here we go.
I got it.
Can you just answer?
It's approximately 200.
No, we have the exact number.
200?
177.
Yep.
177, thank you.
How many officers that are now YCO have pending investigation of abuse and use of force?
We will get you that number.
Thank you.
How many young people have YCO arrested or given summons to in the current and last year?
And what are the majority charges filed or summons types given to these young people?
We will have to get that specific enforcement data to you because I don't have enforcement broken out by type of officer.
If I could just give a general statement.
Go ahead, give me general, and then I would love to see a breakdown.
Yes, ma'am.
The arrests of juveniles is at its highest level for serious crime, and we are at our lowest level for low-level crime.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, and you'll send me a breakdown of what that looks like.
Yes.
And what are we doing as...
NYPD and other agencies to combat young people.
Yes.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Councilmember Brewer?
Followed by Ressler.
