NYPD reviews vehicle leasing program over concerns of misuse by executives

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch has ordered a review of the department's vehicle leasing program, known as CRALO, amid concerns that some executives may be misusing cars meant for investigators. The review aims to ensure proper allocation and oversight of these vehicles. Tisch's memo specifies that no executive or their staff should be assigned a CRALO vehicle for personal use. The review will assess the current allocation of vehicles and require justification for their use, emphasizing adherence to departmental guidelines. This action follows Tisch's commitment to ethical leadership and comes after allegations of misconduct against a high-ranking officer. The NYPD is also implementing an "Overtime Management Plan" to monitor and control overtime hours within the department.
