De Blasio will no longer fight the suit brought by the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), and empower a court-appointed monitor to oversee the department's reform of stop-and-frisk over three years.

De Blasio called it a 'defining moment in our history,' saying it would 'lay the foundation for not only keeping us the safest big city in America, but making us safer still.'

'Today is the beginning of a long-overdue process: the reform of the NYPD to end illegal and racially discriminatory policing,' said Vincent Warren, CCR's executive director. 'For too long, communities of color have felt under siege by the police, and young Black and Latino men have disproportionately been the target.'

Bloomberg and his longtime police commissioner, Raymond Kelly, had steadfastly defended stop-and-frisk as an essential tool that had helped lower crime rates citywide. But De Blasio made his opposition to stop-and-frisk a central part of his campaign for City Hall and vowed to change the strategy when he installed his own commissioner, Bill Bratton.
