NYPD's own training guide makes clear that casual conversations and interactions with the public don't constitute Level 1 investigative stops. Int. 586 added language to also explicitly exempt them.
New Yorkers deserve transparency, not misinformation.
Under the

measure
@NYPDChiefOfDept
says - a casual conversation, "how's it going in the neighborhood, becomes a level 1 encounter, and documenting a stop where people may not want to be documented."

Non-profit contracted workers provide so much for New Yorkers in need, but their wages are woefully out of step with the salaries of other workers in similar jobs.
That’s why we are calling on the City to commit to a multi-year pay increase for these essential workers!
