‘How Many Stops Act’ is a wasteful failure: Repeal it now

‘How Many Stops Act’ is a wasteful failure: Repeal it now

The implementation of the How Many Stops Act has caused a stir in New York City, particularly due to the significant increase in NYPD overtime costs. In just three months, city taxpayers were left with a hefty bill of $1.4 million, all thanks to the 18,000 hours of make-work overtime required by the new legislation.

As predicted earlier this year, the How Many Stops Act has indeed led to a surge in police overtime costs, leaving the rank-and-file officers demoralized and overworked. The law, which mandates detailed reports for even the briefest encounters with civilians, has resulted in a bureaucratic nightmare for NYPD officers.

Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey recently revealed that a staggering 98% of the paperwork generated by the act pertains to Level 1 encounters, totaling over 562,000 reports. This includes mundane interactions like offering assistance to an exhausted runner at the Marathon. Each report takes a cop approximately 30 minutes to an hour to complete, adding unnecessary administrative burden to their already demanding job.

Critics of the law, including Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, have expressed concerns about the escalating overtime costs, with fears that it could reach $750 million by the end of the fiscal year. However, Adams and other detractors fail to acknowledge the unique challenges faced by the NYPD due to the stringent regulations imposed by the City Council.

It is evident that the How Many Stops Act has not achieved its intended purpose, as critics claim that unconstitutional stops have increased while essential police work is being compromised. It is time for Speaker Adams and her colleagues to reconsider the effectiveness of the law and consider repealing it to allow the NYPD to refocus on its primary mission of fighting crime.

In conclusion, the exorbitant overtime costs and bureaucratic hurdles created by the How Many Stops Act have proven to be detrimental to both the NYPD and city taxpayers. It is essential for city officials to prioritize public safety and law enforcement efficiency by revisiting and potentially repealing this counterproductive legislation.
