Epstein questions DCWP on pedicab confiscations
Epstein asks how many pedicab confiscations have occurred in the past three years. Ortiz says he does not have exact numbers because NYPD handles confiscations, but DCWP participates in coordinated enforcement that sometimes results in confiscation.
You mentioned confiscation.
How many confiscations of pedicabs have happened in the past three years?
I'm sorry, I don't have the exact numbers on number of confiscations.
Those are handled by the New York City Police Department.
Can you get back to us with that information, please?
Yes, sir.
So you know they've happened?
Yes, they do conduct.
We have been participating in coordinated activities around enforcement where confiscations are the result.
You know, the agency, the CCP, does not have the capacity or ability to do confiscation, so we work with the police department to do that work.
