I'm not too sure about sending this to Bloomy, I don't think managing the NYPD is his jobNot so. The worst case scenario is that the letter ends up in a circular file someplace and nobody does anything about it. The best case scenario is that somebody in the mayor's office (not necessarily Bloomy, but somebody in his office) reads the letter, finds it compelling and starts placing phone calls, and the people called will place further phone calls to find out what the deal is, and the calls start reaching many of the same offices that received the original complaint letters you sent. Now, those offices that received the complaints (and may be inclined to do nothing about it, considering that they receive many, and most have little basis in fact and even less in the law) are receiving phone calls from the mayor's office, from the Chief of Department, from the Commissioner's office asking what this letter is about, and that gives them a little more of an incentive to do something about it. The way to be sure the letter winds up in the "best case" above is to make sure it is compelling. Not by making up stories or making accusations of vast conspiracies (which all end up in the circular file), but by being truthful and straightforward, including many details, and of course having the letter properly structured, respectfully addressed and (though this should go without saying) grammatically and orthographically correct. These are the things that staffers will note in a letter received (among the many they receive every week), and will end up on the top of the pile on their desk. They're the ones they might just make a phone call about. |
