A Local Law to amend the New York city charter and the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to police department domestic violence, sexual crimes, and human trafficking training, review, and reporting; and the mayor’s office to end domestic and gender based violence fatality review and advisory committees

Summary

This bill would require the Police Department (NYPD) to train officers on responding to incidents involving domestic violence, sexual crimes, or human trafficking. The training would be developed from recommendations made by an interdisciplinary, interagency committee consisting of representatives of the NYPD, the Mayor’s Office to End Domestic and Gender-based Violence, the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice, domestic violence service providers, sexual assault service providers, and human trafficking service providers. In addition, the bill would add such service providers to the City’s domestic fatality review committee and create a fatality advisory committee to review individual case level data on gender based and domestic violence fatalities.
