Summary

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani ordered the NYPD to conduct its first comprehensive review of use-of-force policies in a decade. The move follows the retirement of an officer facing disciplinary charges in the March 2024 fatal shooting of 19-year-old Win Rozario. The reforms aim to stop officers from avoiding discipline by retiring before cases resolve, ensure compliance with state death-reporting rules, and standardize communication with victims' families.
