The Office of the Inspector General (OIG-NYPD), a Department of Investigation (DOI) agency, started to probe the Criminal Group Database—NYPD’s “secret” gang database—in 2018, but there’s still no official report on the furtive list today.
The Office of the Inspector General , a Department of Investigation agency, started to probe the Criminal Group Database—NYPD’s “secret” gang database—in 2018, but there’s still no official report on the furtive list today, despite Commissioner Jocelyn Strauber’s projection of a release by the end of 2022 during a City Council hearing last spring. She said a draft was already in progress at the time.
“There are inherent due process concerns that the database does not adhere to so that people are never given a chance to challenge their inclusion in the database and they also are subjected to staying on there perpetually because there’s no mechanism to get off of it,” said Posada.
Yet race is no qualifier for gang participation and the percentages indicate the frequent exclusion of white supremacists, who U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas declared the “greatest domestic threat” in 2021. Posada also said there are adverse effects for New Yorkers secretly tagged as gang members: It can lead to different treatment during police stops, and the label can hurt someone’s chances in court, whether during a child custody battle or in setting bail.
