On Tuesday morning, a coalition of anti-surveillance advocates and public defenders gathered in front of the NYPD’s Inspector General’s office to demand once again an investigation into cops’ gang database.
On Tuesday evening, the city Department of Investigation told THE CITY that it started a probe of the infamous Criminal Group Database three years ago and that the job is nearly complete.
“DOI has an ongoing examination on the NYPD’s gang database, which began in 2018, and is now in its final stages,” said Diane Struzzi, a Department of Investigation spokesperson.
