Overview

• About 450 investigators, billed as the nation’s largest such unit, will be reassigned to the Detective Bureau to handle cases from complaint through prosecution as a single team.
• Investigators will be posted in every precinct beginning next week as the rollout gets underway.
• Deputy Chief John Corbisiero, a 40-year NYPD veteran, was appointed to lead the unit and will report to the Chief of Detectives.
• The NYPD will require a two-day in-person training with virtual follow-ups and will add a domestic violence counsel and a director of prevention and intervention.
• New misdemeanor I-Card arrest teams and formal coordination with all five district attorneys are intended to speed arrests and strengthen prosecutions.
