History

Historical Context

Mayor David Dinkins appointed the Mollen Commission in 1992; its 1994 report condemned NYPD abuse and called for a permanent civilian oversight agency with subpoena power. Giuliani later created a community-relations task force after the Louima beating, pushing modest CCRB reforms. Mayor Zohran Mamdani now orders a force-policy review and directs $2.6 million to the Inspector General’s Office for transparency.
