Treyger wants hate crimes included in Compstat
Councilmember Mark Treyger is calling on Police Commissioner James O’Neill to include hate crimes in the NYPD’s CompStat listings of crimes.
“Hate crimes are left out and not tracked via CompStat, an important weekly and localized reporting tool. I believe we should assess what we value. We should value tolerance and ensuring every person feels safe, welcome and supported in New York City. This is why excluding data on hate crimes is a glaring omission,” said Treyger, a Democrat representing Coney Island, Gravesend and parts of Bensonhurst.
