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.

Mcdonald, Grethel vs City of New York, et al.Case # 20CV06414, U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY, December 22, 2020, ended January 11, 2024
$17,500 Settlement
Complaint
Description: On September 30, 2017, Defendants PO Mak, PO Harkins, PO Surko, and Lt. Bardash used excessive force and unlawfully arrested the Plaintiff. The Defendants seized and searched the Plaintiff's bag that was on the porch and denied her pleas for it back. PO Harkins and/or PO Mak then grabbed the Plaintiff and slammed her to the ground. PO Harkins or PO Mak placed his knee on the Plaintiff's face and called her a "bitch." Then, PO Mak excessively tightened handcuffs onto the Plaintiff. To cover up their illegal actions, PO Mak falsely told the Richmond County DAO that the Plaintiff had committed various crimes. Fortunately, all claims were eventually dismissed in her favor.
