97% of people the teams encountered in a random sample of stops were Black or Latino, federal monitors found.
“The Department’s oversight of these unlawful [Neighborhood Safety Team] stops, frisks, and searches is inadequate at all levels,” the report said. “Although policies and training are in place to address these issues, without accountability in the field and at all levels within the Department, the level of compliance will not improve.
When Neighborhood Safety Team officers initiated a stop on their own — rather than responding to a 911 call — they had a reasonable suspicion to do so 69% of the time. That means they were legally justified to make those stops, based on constitutional law.
Eight non-Neighborhood Safety Team commands had a higher percentage of lawful stops than counterparts in Neighborhood Safety Teams, which are supposed to be highly trained and experienced The report noted that some Neighborhood Safety Teams did a better job of following people’s constitutional rights when conducting stops, frisks and searches.
“Those commands should serve as models for other commands that are performing inadequately,” the monitors said. “The fact that some commands have a very high level of compliance makes clear that lawful and effective policing are not incompatible.”
