Summary

Sometime after 6 p.m. on November 5, 2004, [redacted] a resident of the Brookhaven Rehabilitation Center, in Far Rockaway, Queens, called 911 to complain that a male resident at the facility was stalking her. Police Officers [redacted] and David Pulice responded to the call. The officers determined that the matter did not fall within NYPD's jurisdiction and referred the matter to the facility's administration. Ms. [redacted] alleges that PO Pulice refused to clearly state his name and shield number upon her request. She stated that when she asked PO Pulice for his name and shield number, he told her to read the information off of his nameplate. Ms. [redacted] put on her eyeglasses but still could not read the information on the nameplate. She then requested that PO Pulice state his name and shield number, or come closer to her, but PO Pulice refused to state his name saying, "Well if you can't see it, that's your problem." The evidence indicates that PO Pulice violated Patrol Guide procedure 203-09, when he failed to clearly state his name and shield upon Ms. [redacted] request, and did not allow her ample time to note the information. Read report for details.
