The different forms of inquiries into police wrongdoing would be temporarily put on hold, according to a statement made by the Civilian Complaint Review Board. This covers claims that police have given misleading information. The budget cuts that Mayor Eric Adams made led to the decision to halt these inquiries.
Now that the mayor has announced spending cuts, the opposition to his plans is probably going to be stronger, especially from left-leaning Democrats and police accountability organizations who already have doubts about the former police captain, Adams. It is anticipated that this disclosure will stoke the flames. Furthermore, it coincides with legal filings made by the main public-sector union in the city regarding the mandated budget cuts of $110 billion.
