DOI Commissioner Jocelyn E. Strauber said, “These statistics reflect the realities of a post-pandemic New York City and an evolving criminal justice landscape. DOI has met those challenges by reprioritizing the agency’s docket to focus resources on investigations that will have the greatest impact. In 2023, as DOI marks its 150th year serving the people of New York City, we will continue to advance our mission through significant investigations that target corruption, fraud and financial abuse in municipal government – a mission that is critical to the City’s ability to use its resources efficiently.”
