The
NYPD
Tapes
Part 2:
bed-stuy street cops ordered:
turn this place into a ghost town
An Exclusive Report by Graham Rayman
Photographs by c.s. muncy
In the summer of 2008, NYPD o≈cers in Brooklyn’s
81st Precinct embarked on an aggressive campaign to reduce
crime by arresting citizens for doing no more than standing
on certain street corners and building stoops.
This program emerges on the remarkable audio recordings
the Voice began making public last week. Over a 17-month
period ending in October 2009, police o≈cer Adrian School-
craft secretly recorded conversations at Bedford-Stuyves-
ant’s 81st Precinct, including 117 roll calls, during which
superior officers like precinct commander Steven Mauriello
can be heard instructing cops to arrest people for things like
“blocking the sidewalk.”
Supervisors told officers to make an arrest and “articulate” a
charge later, or haul someone in with the intent of voiding the arrest
at the end of a shift, or detain people for hours on minor charges like
disorderly conduct—all for the purpose of getting citizens off the
street. People were arrested for not showing identification, even if
they were just a few feet from their homes. Mental health worker
Rhonda Scott suffered two broken wrists during a 2008 arrest for
not having her ID card while standing on her own stoop.
The precinct’s campaign led to a 900 percent increase in stop-
and-frisks in the neighborhood, which commanders demanded
from officers in order to hit statistical quotas. It also resulted in
several dozen gun arrests, hundreds of arrests on other charges,
and thousands of summonses for things like disorderly conduct,
trespassing, and loitering.
Defense attorneys and civil rights groups say Mauriello’s in-
structions to his troops appear to have strained the limits of prob-
able cause, and raise questions about the legality of the many
arrests. The tactics, which are used in many other parts of the city,
also caused an undercurrent of resentment among residents.
“The Police Department is using these numbers to portray
themselves as being effective,” says Mar-
quez Claxton, a retired NYPD detective
and the director of the Black Law Enforce-
ment Alliance, which studies police issues.
“In portraying that illusion, they have
pushed these illegal quotas which force
police officers to engage in illegal acts.”
And all of it—the questionable arrests,
the campaign of aggression—occurred
with the added pressure of severe short-
ages in manpower and patrol cars. The
tapes show that the shortages got so bad
that some days the most effective way
to fight crime was just to pray for rain.
I
n the first installment of “The NYPD
Tapes,” the Voice showed that police
in this city are under enormous pres-
sure from their superiors to meet quo-
tas for writing tickets and collaring suspects
on minor charges—and these pressures
seemed to have nothing to do with what was
actually happening in the precinct itself.
Bed-Stuy, for example, is a lot better
off now than it was in the early- to mid-
1990s. In 1995, there were 35 murders in
the 81st Precinct. Last year, there were 13.
In recent years, the neighborhood has
experienced gentrification and new con-
struction. There are still sectors of the pre-
cinct, however, that are prone to shootings,
robberies, and other types of street crime.
So precinct commander Mauriello or-
dered that certain street corners be cleared
of people. Officers were told to ask people
to move, and if they refused, to arrest them
on some minor charge, such as disorderly
conduct, hold them in the precinct cells
for a few hours, and then release them.
Mauriello would often roam the pre-
cinct in his car. When he saw groups on
particular corners, he would call in offi-
cers to arrest the people on low-level
charges. These collars came to be called
“Mauriello Specials.”
On June 12, 2008, a sergeant tells the
precinct’s officers to make the arrests
even if they have to cancel the charges
at the end of their shift. “Guy’s on the
corner? You gotta leave. Bounce. Get
lost,” he says. “You’ll void it later on in
the night so you’ll all go home on time.”
On July 1, 2008, a sergeant tells his
cops: “Be an asshole. They gonna do
something, shine a light in their face.
Inconvenience them. It saves trouble
later on. Some of you with good ac-
tivity are going to be moving up.”
The following day, a precinct supervisor
orders cops to make an arrest, when in the
past, a dispute might have been talked out.
“The days of mediating between a
perp and a store owner are over,” a ser-
geant says on July 2, 2008. “If the guy is
in the back with five sticks of deodor-
ant, you gotta collar him,” the sergeant
says. “There’s no more mediating.”
By that July, Mauriello was a fixture
in the roll calls at the start of the eve-
ning tour. “They wise off, they fucking
push you, I expect them handcuffed,
all right?” he says in a July 15, 2008, roll
call, adding later, “Anybody gets >> p14
