The New York Police Department announced on Monday that it is disbanding its anti-crime unit, which is a group of 600 officers who wear plainclothes to blend into the community in an effort to fight crime.
“The NYPD is disbanding its undercover anti-crime unit — after being involved in a ‘disproportionate’ number of shootings,” The New York Post reported. “The roughly 600 cops, spread out at precincts and PSAs across the city, will be reassigned into other posts, including the detective bureau and neighborhood police, the city’s top cop said.”
