NYPD cops spent 18,000 hours and $1.44 million in overtime filling out paperwork under the controversial How Many Stops Act, raising concerns about inflated costs and lower police morale.
Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey revealed that 98% of the 562,000 paperwork instances involved Level 1 encounters, highlighting the extensive burden added by the new reporting requirements.
Despite the critics claiming 30% of encounters go undocumented, police insiders argue the How Many Stops Act is contributing to inflated overtime costs that could soar to $750 million this fiscal year.
Council Speaker Adrienne Adams criticized police overtime costs, emphasizing a lack of accountability from the NYPD, yet ignored the challenging restrictions placed on it by City Council.
