Complaint Against the Officer or Officers who are Withholding Documents from the CCRB

As we learned from ProPublica on August 17, NYPD officers are withholding documentary evidence and body-worn camera footage related to a number of CCRB investigations.

On August 18, I filed a complaint against those officers. The CCRB has previously threatened to substantiate allegations of abuse of authority against officers who refused to attend interviews — when it did so, the NYPD relented and made the officers available.

The CCRB has negotiated with the NYPD and the NYPD has still failed to provide officers and footage. The CCRB should substantiate allegations against the officers refusing to provide this footage because they are violating the Patrol Guide and the City Charter.

My full letter written in support of the complaint, which explains the facts and the legal theory behind it, is available by clicking the button below.
