Further details on conclusions.
On November 30, 2016, at 8:07 p.m., [redacted] called the 77th Precinct stationhouse to request information about how to gain access to the personal effects and residence of her brother-in-law, [redacted] who had died in July 2016. Police Officer Wael Jaber of the 77th Precinct answered the phone, announcing himself as what [redacted] thought to be "Officer Java." [redacted] dissatisfied with Police Officer Jaber's replies, requested to speak with a supervisor and was denied. When she reiterated her desire to speak with a supervisor, Police Officer Jaber, without warning, disengaged the call (Allegation A).
[redacted] immediately called the 77th Precinct stationhouse again, and Police Officer Jaber answered. [redacted] requested Police Officer Jaber's name and shield number. Police Officer Jaber, without warning, hung up the phone (within Allegation A and Allegation B). [redacted] immediately called the 77th Precinct stationhouse a third time, and Police Officer Jaber answered. When [redacted] asked for the spelling of his name and his shield number, Police Officer Jaber spelled his name "W-I-N-G" and provided his shield number as "2400" (within Allegation B). [redacted] replied that she did not believe the provided information was accurate and, again, without warning, Police Officer Jaber hung up the phone (within Allegation A).
[redacted] called the 77th Precinct stationhouse again and was transferred to Sergeant Stacey Coulter of the 77th Precinct, who listened to her complaint about Police Officer Jaber. Sergeant Coulter provided [redacted] with details on how to file her complaint with the CCRB. [redacted] was not arrested or issued any summonses as a result of this incident.
