NYPD Predictive Policing Documents
Documents related to the NYPD's predictive policing trials and programs.
The Brennan Center filed a Freedom of Information Law (“FOIL”) request for information about how the New York Police Department (“NYPD”) has tested, purchased, and implemented predictive policing software on June 14, 2016. The documents below were ultimately obtained over the course of two years of litigation on that original request.
These documents reveal details about the NYPD’s test of three types of commercial predictive policing software and shed light on the in-house algorithms the NYPD ultimately employed to inform deployment decisions. The difficult process to get access to this information, and the piecemeal production we ultimately received, also reveal the NYPD’s quest to keep the public in the dark about this technology.
