HIRING AND RECRUITMENT
There are several bureaus that do not reflect the overall diversity of the department . As part of the Action Plan , we will unpack the cultural , historical and department-specific causes of this . The Bureau of Building Repair , which is staffed by trades people , is 44 % white and only 15 % Asian and 13 % Black . The Bureau of Street Environmental Services ( BSES ) is disproportionately Black at 42 %, while there are only 14 % white staff .
