A pair of new court challenges are widening scrutiny of the New York City Department of Probation (DOP). A DOP spokesperson said the department is “committed to serving New Yorkers with fairness, integrity, and professionalism.” He said employees from numerous city agencies had contacted him about personnel changes after the Mamdani administration took office. “No one had an answer for me as far as what tasks I had to do for my day-to-day,” Cummings told amNewYork. Scola said Slaughter told him DOP would not identify who had filled her former position and rejected her request to be considered for another vacancy.
