A special NYPD committee tasked with reviewing the department’s investigations into “political activity,” including alleged terrorism ties, received an appointment from Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday.
Muhammad Faridi, a contract law attorney, was appointed as the new civilian member of a 10-person NYPD “Handschu Committee,” an internal NYPD body that was formed in 2017 — under former Mayor Bill de Blasio — following a pair of federal suits that alleged the department engaged in improper investigations of the Muslim community.
