NEW — a story I've been working on for 3 years:
In a job interview in 2020, officer Joseph DeAngelis admitted to misconduct in 5 previous depts ranging from falsified reports and using the n-word to off-duty drunk driving, shoplifting and animal abuse.

New Streetsblog buddy @sammysussman.bsky.social tackled this pressing basketball issue as well nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/26/k...
Though he seemingly resigning from multiple jobs in lieu of termination, and he admitted to lots of misconduct, DeAngelis can still serve as a police officer in New York State — a shocking example of the many loopholes in the state's officer decertification laws.
NEW:
A @nyc.streetsblog.org analysis shows that patrol cops are writing nearly 1/3 less parking tickets (and 1/2 less speeding tickets) in lower Manhattan this year though tickets by traffic agents are up and 311 calls about parking are way up.
