NYC Admin. Code § 14-140 Property clerk.

§ 14-140 Property clerk.* * Editor's note: In McClendon v. Rossetti, 460 F.2d 111 (2d Cir. 1972), the court held that certain procedures of the police property clerk, which required persons from whom property was taken in the course of an arrest to commence a court proceeding to obtain the return of such property, combined with the provisions of section 14-140(f) of the Administrative Code, which required such persons to prove lawful possession of the property, denied such persons due process of law under the Fifth and Fourteenth amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Subsequent to the McClendon decision, the Police Department and the District Attorneys adopted procedures for claiming property taken or obtained by the police in the course of an arrest which were approved by the McClendon court. These procedures are codified as subchapter B of chapter 12 of title 38 of the Rules of the City of New York. a. Appointment, duties and security. 1. The commissioner shall employ a property clerk who shall take charge of all property and money hereinafter described. 2. All such property and money shall be described and registered by the property clerk in a record kept for that purpose, which shall contain a description of such property or money, the name and address of the owner or claimant if ascertained, the date and place where obtained or found, the name and address of the person from whom taken or obtained, with the general circumstances, the name of the officer by whom recovered or obtained, the date when received by the property clerk, the names and addresses of all claimants thereto, and any final disposition of such property or money. 3. The property clerk shall have power to administer oaths to and take affidavits and depositions of any person or claimant in all matters pertaining to the powers and duties of the property clerk, and property and money in his or her custody and claims thereto. 4. The commissioner may require and take security for the faithful performance of the duties of the property clerk. b. Custody of property and money. All property or money taken from the person or possession of a prisoner, all property or money suspected of having been unlawfully obtained or stolen or embezzled or of being the proceeds of crime or derived through crime or derived through the conversion of unlawfully acquired property or money or derived through the use or sale of property prohibited by law from being held, used or sold, all property or money suspected of having been used as a means of committing crime or employed in aid or furtherance of crime or held, used or sold in violation of law, all money or property suspected of being the proceeds of or derived through bookmaking, policy, common gambling, keeping a gambling place or device, or any other form of illegal gambling activity and all property or money employed in or in connection with or in furtherance of any such gambling activity, all property or money taken by the police as evidence in a criminal investigation or proceeding, all property or money taken from or surrendered by a pawnbroker on suspicion of being the proceeds of crime or of having been unlawfully obtained, held or used by the person who deposited the same with the pawnbroker, all property or money which is lost or abandoned, all property or money left uncared for upon a public street, public building or public place, all property or money taken from the possession of a person appearing to be insane, intoxicated or otherwise incapable of taking care of himself or herself, that shall come into the custody of any member of the police force or criminal court, and all property or money of incarcerated individuals of any city hospital, prison or institution except the property found on deceased persons that shall remain unclaimed in its custody for a period of one month, shall be given, as soon as practicable, into the custody of and kept by the property clerk except that vehicles suspected of being stolen or abandoned and evidence vehicles as defined in subdivision b of section 20-495 of the code may be taken into custody in the manner provided for in subdivision b of section 20-519 of the code. c. Return of property and money to person accused. Whenever property or money taken from any person arrested shall be alleged to have been feloniously obtained, or to be the proceeds of crime, and brought, with all ascertained claimants thereof, and the person arrested, before a judge of the criminal court for adjudication, and the judge of the criminal court shall be satisfied from the evidence that the person arrested is innocent of the offense alleged, and that the property rightfully belongs to him or her, then such judge thereupon, in writing, may order such property or money to be returned, and the property clerk, if he or she have it, to deliver such property or money to the accused person, and not to any attorney, agent or clerk of such accused person. d. Disputed ownership. If any claim to the ownership of such property or money shall be made on oath before the judge, by or in behalf of any other persons than the person arrested, and such accused person shall be held for trial or examination, such property or money shall remain in the custody of the property clerk until the discharge or conviction of the person accused and until lawfully disposed of. e. Disposition of property and money. 1. Abandoned vehicles subject to the provisions of section twelve hundred twenty-four of the vehicle and traffic law in the custody of the property clerk shall be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of such section twelve hundred twenty-four. The city may convert to its own use in any calendar year one percent of any such abandoned vehicles not subject to subdivision two of such section twelve hundred twenty-four which are not claimed. All moneys or property other than abandoned vehicles subject to the provisions of such section twelve hundred twenty-four that shall remain in the custody of the property clerk for a period of three months without a lawful claimant entitled thereto shall, in the case of moneys, be paid into the general fund of the city established pursuant to section one hundred nine of the charter, and in the case of property other than such abandoned vehicles, be sold at public auction after having been advertised in "the City Record" for a period of ten days and the proceeds of such sale shall be paid into such fund. In the alternative, any such property may be used or converted to use for the purpose of any city, state or federal agency, or for charitable purposes, upon consultation with the human resources administration and other appropriate city agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all property or money of a deceased person that shall come into the custody of the property clerk shall be delivered to a representative of the estate of such decedent and if there be no such representative, to the public administrator of the county where the decedent resided. Where moneys or property have been unlawfully obtained or stolen or embezzled or are the proceeds of crime or derived through crime or derived through the conversion of unlawfully acquired property or money or derived through the use or sale of property prohibited by law from being held, used or sold, or have been used as a means of committing crime or employed in aid or in furtherance of crime or held, used or sold in violation of law, or are the proceeds of or derived through bookmaking, policy, common gambling, keeping a gambling place or device, or any other form of illegal gambling activity or have been employed in or in connection with or in furtherance of any such gambling activity, a person who so obtained, received or derived any such moneys or property, or who so used, employed, sold or held any such moneys or property or permitted or suffered the same to be used, employed, sold or held, or who was a participant or accomplice in any such act, or a person who derives his or her claim in any manner from or through any such person, shall not be deemed to be the lawful claimant entitled to any such moneys or property except that as concerns any vehicle taken into custody in the manner provided for in subdivision b of section 20-519 of the code, the authorized tow company shall receive from the department the cost of towing and storage as provided under subdivision c of section 20-519. 2. The commissioner, however, where the property consists of any property that has been used as a means of committing crime or employed in aid or in furtherance of crime or held, used or sold in violation of law, or gambling apparatus or any property employed in or in connection with or in furtherance of any gambling activity, or burglar tools of any description, or firearms, cartridges or explosives, or armored or bullet-proof clothing or motor vehicles, or instruments, articles or medicines for the purpose of procuring abortion or preventing conception, or wines, fermented liquors and other alcoholic beverages and the receptacles thereof, or soiled, bloody or unsanitary clothing, or solids and liquids of unknown or uncertain composition, or opium, morphine, heroin, cocaine or any of its admixtures or derivatives, and other narcotics, or hypodermic syringes and needles, or obscene pictures, prints, books, publications, effigies or statues, or any poisonous, noxious, or deleterious solids or liquids, or any property which in the opinion of the commissioner, is of slight value or the sale of which might result in injury to the health, welfare or safety of the public, may direct and empower the property clerk to destroy each and every article of such nature. If, in the opinion of the commissioner, any such property may be used or converted to use for the purpose of the department or any city, state or federal agency, such property may in the discretion of the commissioner be used or converted to use for any such purpose, and the same need not be sold or destroyed as in this section provided. 3. Perishable property may be sold as soon as practicable on the best terms available and the proceeds of such sale shall be disposed of as in this section provided. f. Lawful property right to be established. In any action or proceeding against the property clerk for or on account of any property or money in his or her custody, a claimant from whose possession such property or money was taken or obtained, or any other claimant, shall establish that he or she has a lawful title or property right in such property or money and lawfully obtained possession thereof and that such property or money was held and used in a lawful manner. In any such action or proceeding, a claimant who derives his or her title or right by assignment, transfer or otherwise from or through the person from whose possession such property or money was taken or obtained, shall further establish that such person had a lawful title or property right in such property or money and lawfully obtained possession thereof and that such property or money was held and used in a lawful manner. g. No action for property or money held as evidence. No action or proceeding may be brought against the property clerk for or on account of any property or money held as evidence in any criminal investigation or proceeding until the termination thereof. h. Preservation of property. Where the property consists of furs or other valuable property that may be subject to deterioration or damage if stored by the property clerk, the property clerk in his or her discretion may store such property with a private concern having special facilities for such storage, and the cost thereof shall be a lien upon such property to be paid by the owner thereof prior to the recovery of such property. i. Removal and storage charges for motor vehicles and boats. 1. Whenever an abandoned motor vehicle or boat, or a motor vehicle or boat involved in an accident, or a boat found adrift and unoccupied upon the waters of the city of New York which is in the custody of the property clerk, shall be claimed by the owner or other person lawfully entitled to possession thereof, such owner or other person shall not be entitled to the return thereof unless he or she shall first pay to the property clerk a removal charge of twenty-five dollars and a storage charge of five dollars for each day, or fraction thereof, except that in the case of a boat found adrift and unoccupied upon the waters of the city of New York, such storage charge shall not be applied until three days after notice to the owner by registered mail from the property clerk that such boat is in police custody. 2.

NYC Admin. Code § 14-141 Common law and statutory powers of constables.

§ 14-141 Common law and statutory powers of constables. The members of the force while on duty in the city and whenever in any other part of this state, shall possess all the common law and statutory powers of constables, except for the service of civil process, and any warrant for search or arrest, issued by any judge of this state, may be executed, in any part thereof, by any member of the force.

NYC Admin. Code § 14-147 Workers' compensation for members of auxiliary police.

§ 14-147 Workers' compensation for members of auxiliary police. a. As used in this section, the term "member of the auxiliary police" shall mean and include only a volunteer who is a duly enrolled member in good standing of the auxiliary police which the city is authorized to recruit by subdivision five of section twenty-three of the New York state defense emergency act, as enacted by chapter seven hundred eighty-four of the laws of nineteen hundred fifty-one, and who is not within the coverage of the workers' compensation law pursuant to group seventeen of subdivision one of section three of the workers' compensation law. b. Pursuant to the authorization contained in group nineteen of subdivision one of section three of the workers' compensation law the coverage of the workers' compensation law is hereby extended to the activities of any member of the auxiliary police during any period which such member is actually engaged in auxiliary police activities duly authorized by regulation or order issued pursuant to the New York state defense emergency act including any such activities as may be prescribed by the commissioner of the city pursuant to such regulation or order, such coverage shall extend to such member of the auxiliary police, but only to the extent that such member is not, as to any such activities, covered by article ten of the workers' compensation law.

NYC Admin. Code § 14-148 Uniform allowance for members of auxiliary police.

§ 14-148 Uniform allowance for members of auxiliary police. a. Legislative intent. In the public interest and under the powers granted by the charter to the council to enact legislation for the good and welfare of the citizens of New York, it is the intent of the council by this legislation to attract more men and women to serve as auxiliary police. These men or women are trained by our regular police forces and are similarly uniformed and equipped except that they do not carry guns. The appearance on the streets of many men or women wearing the police uniform, in precincts where auxiliary police are active, has done much to reduce the crime rates in those areas. Auxiliary police serve without pay as civic minded citizens. Their presence in uniform on the streets serves to release regular uniformed police for patrol duty and lessens the neighborhood fear of crime. Auxiliary police patrol in pairs and by radio can summon instant assistance from the regular police should they encounter a situation which they have not been trained to handle. Their presence on the streets makes for good community relations between the citizens and the regular police. It is small repayment for the valuable services they render to provide them with a uniform allowance. b. Allowance. Duly enrolled members in good standing of the auxiliary police, upon successful completion of training, shall receive an initial allowance not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars towards the initial purchase of uniforms and accessories for same, including care and maintenance. The amount of such allowance shall be determined by the police commissioner and shall not exceed the actual costs incurred for such uniforms and accessories including care and maintenance. Such members other than those receiving such initial allowance in the then current or preceding fiscal year, shall be eligible for an allowance towards the purchase of uniforms and accessories for same, including care and maintenance to be awarded to each such member who shall otherwise qualify in accordance with the provisions of this subdivision. The commissioner shall determine the amount of the allowance to be awarded based on but not limited to the member's participation, hours of service, expense incurred in maintaining uniforms and equipment and such other facts deemed pertinent by the commissioner. Payments shall be made for the preceding fiscal year after certification by the commanding officer of the auxiliary forces section to the police commissioner of such facts as the commissioner may deem pertinent to enable him or her to make his or her determination. c. Auxiliary police not to be members of regular police force. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section nothing contained therein shall be construed to constitute such auxiliary police officers members of the regular police force or to entitle them to the privileges and benefits of the regular police force or to become members of the police pension funds.

NYC Admin. Code § 14-151 Bias-based profiling prohibited.

§ 14-151 Bias-based profiling prohibited. a. Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms have the following meanings: 1. "Bias-based profiling" means an act of a member of the force of the police department or other law enforcement officer that relies on actual or perceived race, national origin, color, creed, age, immigration or citizenship status, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or housing status as the determinative factor in initiating law enforcement action against an individual, rather than an individual's behavior or other information or circumstances that links a person or persons to suspected unlawful activity. 2. "Law enforcement officer" means (i) a peace officer or police officer as defined in the Criminal Procedure Law who is employed by the city of New York; or (ii) a special patrolman appointed by the police commissioner pursuant to section 14-106 of the administrative code. 3. The terms "national origin," "gender," "disability," "sexual orientation," and "immigration or citizenship status" shall have the same meaning as in section 8-102 of the administrative code. 4. "Housing status" means the character of an individual's residence or lack thereof, whether publicly or privately owned, whether on a temporary or permanent basis, and shall include but not be limited to: (i) an individual's ownership status with regard to the individual's residence; (ii) the status of having or not having a fixed residence; (iii) an individual's use of publicly assisted housing; (iv) an individual's use of the shelter system; and (v) an individual's actual or perceived homelessness. b. Prohibition. 1. Every member of the police department or other law enforcement officer shall be prohibited from engaging in bias-based profiling. 2. The department shall be prohibited from engaging in bias-based profiling. c. Private Right of Action. 1. A claim of bias-based profiling is established under this section when an individual brings an action demonstrating that: (i) the governmental body has engaged in intentional bias-based profiling of one or more individuals and the governmental body fails to prove that such bias-based profiling (A) is necessary to achieve a compelling governmental interest and (B) was narrowly tailored to achieve that compelling governmental interest; or (ii) one or more law enforcement officers have intentionally engaged in bias-based profiling of one or more individuals; and the law enforcement officer(s) against whom such action is brought fail(s) to prove that the law enforcement action at issue was justified by a factor(s) unrelated to unlawful discrimination. 2. A claim of bias-based profiling is also established under this section when: (i) a policy or practice within the police department or a group of policies or practices within the police department regarding the initiation of law enforcement action has had a disparate impact on the subjects of law enforcement action on the basis of characteristics delineated in paragraph 1 of subdivision a of this section, such that the policy or practice on the subjects of law enforcement action has the effect of bias-based profiling; and (ii) The police department fails to plead and prove as an affirmative defense that each such policy or practice bears a significant relationship to advancing a significant law enforcement objective or does not contribute to the disparate impact; provided, however, that if such person who may bring an action demonstrates that a group of policies or practices results in a disparate impact, such person shall not be required to demonstrate which specific policies or practices within the group results in such disparate impact; provided further, that a policy or practice or group of policies or practices demonstrated to result in a disparate impact shall be unlawful where such person who may bring an action produces substantial evidence that an alternative policy or practice with less disparate impact is available and the police department fails to prove that such alternative policy or practice would not serve the law enforcement objective as well. (iii) For purposes of claims brought pursuant to this paragraph, the mere existence of a statistical imbalance between the demographic composition of the subjects of the challenged law enforcement action and the general population is not alone sufficient to establish a prima facie case of disparate impact violation unless the general population is shown to be the relevant pool for comparison, the imbalance is shown to be statistically significant and there is an identifiable policy or practice or group of policies or practices that allegedly causes the imbalance. d. Enforcement. 1. An individual subject to bias-based profiling as defined in paragraph 1 of subdivision a of this section may file a complaint with the New York City Commission on Human Rights, pursuant to Title 8 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, or may bring a civil action against (i) any governmental body that employs any law enforcement officer who has engaged, is engaging, or continues to engage in bias-based profiling, (ii) any law enforcement officer who has engaged, is engaging, or continues to engage in bias-based profiling, and (iii) the police department where it has engaged, is engaging, or continues to engage in bias-based profiling or policies or practices that have the effect of bias-based profiling. 2. The remedy in any civil action or administrative proceeding undertaken pursuant to this section shall be limited to injunctive and declaratory relief. 3. In any action or proceeding to enforce this section, the court may allow a prevailing plaintiff reasonable attorney's fees as part of the costs, and may include expert fees as part of the attorney's fees. e.

NYC Admin. Code § 14-155 Enforcement criteria.

§ 14-155 Enforcement criteria. a. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. The Council has analyzed the application of criminal and civil enforcement in numerous low-level offenses. Based upon this analysis, the Council has identified concerns with the use of criminal enforcement for many of these offenses and has concluded that criminal enforcement of these offenses should be used only in limited circumstances and that, in the absence of such circumstances, civil enforcement should be utilized. Therefore, the Council finds that it would be productive for the Police Department to communicate to its officers and to the public guidance regarding the important determination whether to utilize civil or criminal enforcement in particular instances. b. The department shall provide guidance to its uniformed officers with respect to determining whether to utilize civil enforcement or criminal enforcement, or both, for any individual who commits a specified unlawful act. Such guidance shall be made publicly available. Nothing contained in this subdivision or in the administration or application hereof shall be construed as creating: 1. a right to be subject to civil or criminal enforcement or prosecution in connection with any alleged specified unlawful act; or 2. a private right of action on the part of any persons or entity against the city of New York, the department, or any official or employee thereof.
