NYPD had no plan after disbanding anti-crime unit, ex-top cop says
Fox News
The NYPD didn’t have a plan to fill the void left by disbanding the controversial anti-crime unit tasked with firearm busts – a policing shift the former chief of department admitted Wednesday was “probably a mistake.”
"It was probably a mistake that we didn’t have a replacement in mind," the cop-turned-senior adviser to Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a virtual event for the Association for a Better New York, a nonprofit business organization. Police Commissioner Dermot Shea dissolved the undercover unit last June following a "disproportionate" number of high-profile incidents that involved the plainclothes cops.More Related News
