NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – New data from the NYPD shows a drastic drop in the number of stop-and-frisks so far in 2014 compared to last.

Mayor Bill de Blasio, who assumed office on Jan. 1, ran on a platform of improving police-community relations and reforming the controversial practice.

Comparing the first quarter of this year to last, the number of stop-and-frisks is down 86 percent, WCBS 880?s Jim Smith reported.
