Mamdani orders NYPD to conduct sweeping review of use-of-force policies

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is calling for a comprehensive review of the New York City Police Department’s use-of-force policies over the coming months after several high-profile incidents involving police and renewed calls from progressives for change.

“When the government uses force against a New Yorker, the standard for accountability must be at its highest,” Mamdani said. “Every New Yorker deserves to know that force will be used lawfully, carefully and only when necessary.”
