""Granting the Civilian Complaint Review Board final disciplinary authority will spell the end of policing in this city,""
Zohran Mamdani proposes granting the Civilian Complaint Review Board final disciplinary authority over serious NYPD matters rather than limiting the board to recommendations. The proposal aims to empower civilian oversight and make CCRB decisions binding in accountability cases. Police unions reacted strongly, with the Police Benevolent Association warning the change would "spell the end of policing in this city" and arguing officers could not expect fair hearings from an allegedly anti-police CCRB membership. The Sergeants Benevolent Association cautioned the shift could prompt a mass exodus of officers. Mamdani has been conducting outreach to rank-and-file officers amid these tensions.
