Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell announced the department’s 2023 Strategic Plan at the annual “State of the NYPD” breakfast this past Jan. 25.
This year’s playbook employs a four-fold “Step Forward” plan to ramp up recruitment efforts from “underrepresented groups,” as well as upgrade crime-fighting technology, further community engagement, and improve neighborhood policing. New NYPD policies and objectives will stem from the quartet of goals.
While the strategic plan did not specify which “underrepresented” groups the department plans to seek out, Black New Yorkers are typically at the forefront of diversity recruitment drives like the “Be the Change” campaign, which reportedly saw the percentage of Black applicants nearly triple in May 2021.
“There are significant questions, especially as a result of the killing of Mr. Nichols, about whether there will be any substantive movement away from police criminality if the police officers look more like the community in which they serve,” he said. “There’s always that question and challenge because you’re talking about not only the color or complexion of the officer, but which culture it is [that] he is being controlled by.
“If you’re a police officer, no matter what your race or ethnicity, no matter what your gender you are, to succeed, you have to get with the program,” he said. “And the program within the NYPD is ‘broken windows policing’ that targets primarily low-income communities of color.” Along with recruiting outreach to underrepresented communities, the NYPD’s first strategic plan goal also mentioned further sensitivity training and supervisory oversight, in addition to improved mental and physical health resources for department employees.
