Q&A

De La Rosa questions Motorola's responsibilities as vendor

New York City Council · Sep 9, 2026 · starts 0:30:50 · 1 min 2 sec

De La Rosa asks about Motorola's responsibilities. Gelobter says it's premature to ascribe specific responsibility during the ongoing investigation, but confirms Motorola's upgrade triggered the issue and they were not aware it broke. She notes the system was not prioritized by the previous administration.

Can you speak to Motorola's responsibilities here as a vendor?

Lisa Gelobter

What I will say is this is an ongoing analysis, ongoing investigation.

Lisa Gelobter

So what I can say today, it would be premature for me to talk specifically about responsibility ascribed to one particular set of people.

Lisa Gelobter

So what I can say today is

Lisa Gelobter

that this system was not as prioritized during the previous administration.

Lisa Gelobter

The facts are that motor

Lisa Gelobter

Motorola upgraded a system and it broke and that they were not aware when that happened.

Carmen N. De La Rosa

When Motorola asks or deems that a system update is critically necessary, as you've testified, who approves that this is indeed the case?
