In a statement, Molina did not address the specific incidents referenced in the new report, but asserted that safety, staff absenteeism, training, hiring and the transportation of detainees to court has improved since he was appointed by Mayor Eric Adams in January 2022. “We have brought this organization back from the brink of collapse and we will not be deterred in continuing our good work,” Molina said.Steve J.
On May 11, a detainee ran out of an elevator without authorization. Officers took him down, handcuffed him behind the pack, and put him in leg restraints. The detainee then appeared to jerk his leg toward a staff member’s head, which led officers to take him down the floor. While being held, the detainee apparently couldn’t support his own weight and fell to the ground, repeatedly hitting his head on the way down, including on the concrete floor.
“Not only are the incidents summarized above disturbing because of the unsafe practices utilized and severity of physical harm—including death—involved, but they also cast serious doubt on the department’s compliance with a basic tenet of reform, which is to accurately record incidents so that underlying problems can be identified and resolved,” Martin concluded.
