CRL Section #50a prohibited public access to officers’ disciplinary records, making it nearly impossible for New Yorkers to find out about police misconduct in their communities. CCRB Chair Fred Davie’s statement on the repeal of 50-a is available here: https://t.co/iodVkYKVxR

#PoliceSTATAct just passed out of both NYS Assembly & Senate. 5th year Assembly passes it. Now that Senate did, NY will be required for 1st time in history to report on #/demographics/location of people killed by cops in NYS Wild we need to pass legislation for this. #SaferNYAct
