Abreu asks NYPD procedure for closing CIS cases
Abreu asks about the procedure for closing a CIS case. Rivera says CIS handles critical, likely fatal, and fatal cases, confers with the DA, and closes when wrapped up. Flynn says about two-thirds of identified cases result in arrest, noting some lack criminality.
What is the procedure for closing a case?
Serious injury, fatality, what?
Regarding a case being investigated by CIS.
Okay, so with CIS, like Director Rappaccino mentioned, critical injury, likely to die, or fatal, fatal, where we actually have someone that's actually passed away.
I would say extensive work that's...
that involves conferral with the DA's office.
When that's all wrapped up at some point, then it's closed.
From start to finish, essentially.
Of the 75% of those that were identified as part of the CIS investigations, what percent of those resulted in an arrest?
I think it's about two-thirds of those cases are resulting in arrest.
So two-thirds of the 75%?
Of the 75%.
And I want to highlight there that in some cases, the fact that there's no arrest is because there might not actually have been criminality there.
So a leaving the scene charge is going to be brought when somebody knows that they've struck another individual, that there's an injury, and then they struck the person and they've left the scene.
In some instances, our investigation will reveal that the driver didn't have knowledge of the collision.
So that accounts for some percent of those.
So what's the breakdown of...
The percent of folks who engage in criminality versus those who didn't.
I don't think that we have, I don't know that we have those numbers here, but we'll get those for you, Mr.
Chair, and follow up.
That would be great.
