The same data-crunching firm that helps the city combat terrorism is being tapped by Gov. Cuomo’s anti-corruption panel to investigate the state Legislature.
The Commission to Investigate Public Corruption is expected to sign a contract this week with Manhattan-based K2 Intelligence, which has sifted through data for the feds in the Bernie Madoff case and consulted for the New York City Campaign Finance Board.
The firm also has ties to the NYPD.
Mitchell Silber, a K2 managing director, is a former director of intelligence analysis for the NYPD and is considered a pioneer in data analysis.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly is a special adviser to the anti-corruption panel.
The state requested K2’s services on the panel’s behalf in a Sept. 12 letter to state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, Capital New York reported.
