NYPD tosses hundreds of misconduct cases — including stop-and-frisks — without even looking at them
ProPublica is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative newsroom. Series: The NYPD Files: Investigating America’s Largest Police Force More in this series The New York Police Department has tossed out hundreds of civilian complaints about police misconduct this year without looking at the evidence. The cases were fully investigated and substantiated by the city’s police oversight agency, the Civilian Complaint Review Board, and sent to the NYPD for disciplinary action. “It’s irresponsible for the Department, and a disservice to its officers and to the people of the city of New York for the NYPD to claim it needs more than 60 days to review every case it receives from CCRB,” said the Rev. “The police commissioner and NYPD leadership continue to work diligently to ensure New Yorkers are both safe and policed fairly.” So far this year, the department has killed more than 430 police misconduct cases without review, far more than it did in all of last year.
