It’s stationed at Empire Boulevard and Flatbush Avenue and offers weekly programs in Brooklyn.
Communities United for Police Reform (CPR) and community groups in New York are advocating for passing the “How Many Stops Act,” a police transparency legislation. CPR developed the bill in March 2023 to improve communication between the police and community safety. The proposed legislation would mandate NYPD officers to document all investigative encounters, street stops, and searches conducted on and to New Yorkers. ve
