As a result of the agreement, the NYPD will be required to change how it deploys officers to public demonstrations and fully document those deployments.<\/p>\n<p>An oversight committee comprised of OAG, the Commissioner of the New York City Department of Investigation (DOI), New York City Office of Corporation Counsel, the new First Amendment Activity (FAA) Senior Executive, and two representatives from LAS, NYCLU\u00a0and the private cases will oversee and monitor NYPD\u2019s implementation and compliance with the new reforms over a multi-year period.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no way to put a price on the trauma that the NYPD caused through their reckless and unconstitutional treatment of protesters during the summer of 2020,\u201d said\u00a0Molly Biklen, Associate Legal Director at the New York Civil Liberties Union. \u201cWhile today\u2019s settlement provides some repair to our clients, our work to ensure our settlement\u2019s policy reforms take hold continues.
