New York City’s Comptroller office has released data regarding claims and payouts for incidents involving the NYPD, and the data highlights a disturbing trend. The data shows that between 2011 and 2013, the city paid out an average of $158 million in tort claims involving the NYPD. Between 2000 and 2010, NYC paid out nearly $6 billion in settlements, and in the last five years, NYPD-related settlements have cost taxpayers $428 million. The costs continue to rise, with $674 million having been set aside for 2015 to cover the costs of additional expected lawsuits, costing every New York City resident around $80 each. The number of claims and payouts against the NYPD in 2013 averages out to 10 lawsuits per day.
