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.
'Substantiated': The alleged conduct occurred and it violated the rules. The NYPD has discretion over what, if any, discipline is imposed.
'Unfounded': Evidence suggests that the event or alleged conduct did not occur.
'Unsubstantiated': or 'Unable to Determine' - CCRB has fully investigated but could not affirmatively conclude both that the conduct occurred and that it broke the rules.
'Within NYPD Guidelines': The alleged conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.

Complaint
Description: On December 1, 2019, Jose J. Joseph was falsely accused of and arrested for strangling victim T.J. Joseph alleges that Defendants Hart, Larin, Fernandez, Shopiro, and Abumalouh knew about the victim's serious credibility issue before his arrest, failing to include information about the victim's sobriety and credibility at the time of the alleged strangulation. Joseph further alleges he was falsely arrested even though there was a lack of probable cause and reckless disregard for the victim's poor credibility and intoxication at the time of the alleged strangulation.
