Quotas in the NYPD still exist for
arrests and summonses in violation of a 2010 state ban on the practice,
current on-the-job officers tell the I-Team, despite Police Commissioner

that the police department responds to conditions in communities to
reduce crime. But Julio Diaz, New York chapter president of the Latino
Officers Association, said, "I can tell you I’m a police officer, and
there are quotas in the NYPD."
The 10 officers who spoke to the I-Team are plaintiffs, along with two
other officers, in a federal class-action lawsuit that claims the NYPD
is continuing to pursue illegal quotas and is punishing officers who
don’t meet numerical goals.
