Requiring the fire dept to implement training on diversity, inclusion, and harassment.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the fire department to implement training on diversity, inclusion, and harassment

The proposed legislation would require the Fire Department, in consultation with the Department of Citywide Administrative Services and Commission on Human Rights, to develop and implement a plan for providing ongoing training and education to all members and staff regarding harassment, diversity and inclusion. Such plan would be required to include annual in-person training regarding the Department’s harassment policies and annual in-person training regarding diversity and inclusion for all Fire Department staff and members. The Fire Department would also be required to post a report each year on its website regarding efforts taken to implement the diversity, inclusion and harassment training plan.
