NYPD To Disband Anti-Crime Unit And Reassign 600 Undercover Officers

The video discusses the reassignment of 600 plainclothes officers in New York as part of a shift away from controversial stop-and-frisk practices. Police Commissioner Dermot Shea announced this change amid ongoing protests against police brutality. While some criticize the move as a step back from proactive policing, Shea emphasizes a smarter, more community-focused approach. The reassigned officers will work in various units, including detective bureaus and neighborhood policing.
