Q&A

CM Wong on data for discouraged crime reports

New York City Council · Sep 16, 2026 · starts 2:25:43 · 50 sec

Wong asks whether NYPD has data on cases where people were discouraged from filing reports. Gerber says they'll try to pull that data and asks Wong to refer any specific cases to IAB for immediate investigation.

Phil Wong

Thank you.

Phil Wong

Sorry, I left out.

Phil Wong

Final question.

Phil Wong

What happens if someone wanted to file a report and was discouraged from doing so?

Phil Wong

Do you have data on that?

Phil Wong

Like how many of those cases happened, say, in the last year, and what happened to those cases?

Member of the Public - Michael Gerber

So we certainly can try to pull data on that for you.

Member of the Public - Michael Gerber

And again, if you have...

Member of the Public - Michael Gerber

A report of that, if someone says, if you or your office learn about a situation like that, please notify us right away.

Member of the Public - Michael Gerber

Right?

Member of the Public - Michael Gerber

Whether it's, and there are, because that will get investigated.

Member of the Public - Michael Gerber

We will immediately refer that to IAB, and it will be a thorough investigation.

Member of the Public - Michael Gerber

And if there was misconduct, there will be consequences.

Member of the Public - Michael Gerber

So please, we want to hear from you on that.

Phil Wong

Thank you.

Phil Wong

Thank you.

Oswald J. Feliz
