Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor

Under statutory mandate, the mission of the commission was to investigate, deter, combat and remedy criminal activity and influence in the port district and also ensures fair hiring and employment practices.[10] WCPD used marked police patrol cars (such as Ford Explorer[11]), command center vehicles[12] and boats for water work.[12] On August 11, 2009, the New York State Inspector General Joseph Fisch issued a report of his two-year investigation of the Waterfront Commission.[14][15] The report's existence was due, in part, to two whistleblowers, Kevin McGown and Brian Smith, who both resigned and have since filed a discrimination complaint against the agency.[19][1] The Supreme Court paused New Jersey's withdrawal from the compact creating the commission until it has addressed the merits of an injunction filed by the State of New York.
