This bill would require the Department of Correction, Department of Sanitation, and Fire Department to report data to the Mayor’s office for inclusion in the Mayor’s Management Report on the racial and gender makeup of their respective uniformed services overall, and by rank. It would also require this same reporting quarterly from the Police Department as part of its existing statutorily-mandated quarterly reports to the Council on its operations.
