Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch has initiated a comprehensive review of an NYPD car-leasing program. The program is under scrutiny due to the fact that it is costing the department more than million per month. This cost has raised concerns because it appears that top officials may not have been fully aware of the existence of this program, according to insider sources.

CRALO — Confidential Rental and Leasing Office — is a program that provides undercover vehicles for NYPD officers and detectives engaged in investigations.

The program has ballooned to cost the Finest over $1 million per month for just over 1,000 vehicles, sources told The Post, and has allegedly been abused by the department’s highest-ranking members.

Tisch’s office suspects that the program provides cops who have no need for an undercover vehicle with multiple leased SUVs at their disposal.

Several well-known higher-ups in the department are among those who are believed to have abused the program, sources said.

The honchos, and others, allegedly use FEMA codes to access the federally funded vehicles — and the feds are also looking into how some cars were paid for, according to the sources.

Tisch’s office is calling on all units to conduct a full inventory of all CRALO vehicles and is also requiring reapproval of all leases — stressing that the resources are meant for investigators, not executives or top NYPD brass.

The commissioner said the program’s sole purpose is to supply confidential and at times non-standard, vehicles to members of the service performing investigatory duties or select specialized work.

She explicitly called out executives and support staff — stating they have no business using vehicles to chauffeur top-brass.

As part of the review, department bureaus will have to inventory each of their CRALO registered vehicles and include “justifications on the continued need of any CRALO vehicles” the sources said.

The program must be brought up to compliance by June 30, 2025, according to the sources.
