Abreu asks trends in identifying hit-and-run drivers

What have the trends been in identifying those drivers involved in hit and runs over the past five years?

I can speak to two right off the top of my head.

January, just speaking to the extensive work that Director Pacino mentioned.

Without saying too much about this particular fatality, that in some cases, I'll speak very generally, some of these operators flee out of the country.

So in this one case, January, this particular operator fled to a particular country.

After six, seven months, again, working with partners, he was brought back to the country.

You know, to face justice.

And recently we had one, I know this was published, we had Ocean Parkway, and that particular operator was apprehended at JFK.

So this is the type of work that goes into the CIS cases.

My question is, what is the trends right now, broadly, with respect to the police department identifying hit and run drivers?

I know you say it's a 75% has been trending upwards, downwards the past five years.

Identifying?

The drivers involved in hit and runs.

Okay.

So with hit and runs in general, again, we want to prioritize where we have our injuries.

The policy itself is officer gets there, assesses the scene.

If there's an injury, you call EMS.

If it is a serious injury, then that case is referred to.

A precinct detective squad, if it is critical or likely to die as determined by EMS, then CIS takes on that case.

So last year, PD identified 75% of drivers involved in hit and runs.

What was the rate the year before that and the year before that?

I'm just trying to see what the trend has been.

We can get that to you.

We don't have the numbers.
