Commissioner Jocelyn Strauber had first promised to deliver the report by the beginning of 2023. At the hearing, she said staff shortages have prevented her from keeping that promise. She said her office now expects to publish the report in the next three months. “When we have a smaller number of people trying to accomplish the same amount of work, things can take more time,” said Strauber.
Critics argue that the NYPD has been secretive about how the database is used, who is on it, and how anyone on the database can be removed from it.
