At approximately 3:38 p.m. on January 30, 2018, officers from the Emergency Services Unit, the 113th Precinct, and the Intelligence Bureau Criminal Intelligence Section forcibly entered the home of [redacted] her husband [redacted] and her son [redacted] at [redacted] in Queens pursuant to a search warrant for the rear bedroom of that house (Allegation A – Abuse of Authority: Entry of Premises, [redacted]).
