New York City Police Disband "Anti-Crime Unit" Of Plainclothes Officers Amid Reform Pressures
The New York Police Department is disbanding its aggressive anti-crime unit.
The unit was originally aimed at turning alienated residents into crime-stopping allies.
A nationwide push for policing reforms followed the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
In a major redeployment, the country’s largest police force will reassign some 600 plainclothes officers.
