NYPD Has Published Final Policies on Surveillance Technology

Thanks to the passage of the Post Act in June, 2020, the NYPD was required to publish the department’s draft policies on the use and impact of every surveillance technology currently in use — 36 tools in total — within 180 days. Upon publishing the draft policies, Eisenberg & Baum gathered and submitted public comments within the 45 day window, and on April 11, 2021, after reviewing all public comments, the NYPD has published the department’s final policies.
