Conclusion Meanings:
'Exonerated': or 'Within NYPD Guidelines' - the alleged conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.
'Unable to Determine': CCRB has fully investigated but could not affirmatively conclude both that the conduct occurred and that it broke the rules.

Complaint
Description: On August 10, 2015, defendant NYPD Officers—including Jun Chen and Joseph Corrado—and EMT personnel—including Novleen Nelson and Satish Abeeluck—entered Plaintiff’s home based on anonymous 911 call from a former friend claiming Plaintiff was going to hurt herself. Defendants searched Plaintiff’s home and made disparaging remarks about her perceived mental instability. Plaintiff repeatedly assured the defendants she was not a danger to herself, but she was still taken into custody as an “emotionally disturbed person.” Plaintiff was taken to a medical center where she was medically and psychiatrically evaluated against her will. She was released from the hospital later that day.
