Excerpt from Yiddish article in Der Yid’s January 10, 2020 edition
The police department will now list hate crimes in the CompStat crime tracking system.
The push for the initiative to start tracking hate crimes in the CompStat crime tracking system came through City Council. The campaign was organized by Councilman Mark Treyger following the huge uptick in anti-Semitic attacks which NYC has been suffering from. Councilmen Chaim Deutsch and Kalman Yeger also worked on legislation to request this change from the police department.
UJO has also appealed to the police department to provide information to the public on those arrested and their subsequent prosecution for these crimes.
UJO thanks Councilman Chaim Deutsch, the Chair of the Jewish Caucus and Councilman KalmanYeger, Councilman Mark Treygor, and their colleagues for working on this bill.
