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.
'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.

Complaint
Description: On April 14, 2012, Plaintiff was lawfully on the street when approached by several officers, including Robert Maynard, Colleen Canavan, Juan Guzman, and Salvatore Desiano.

At the precinct, the officers falsely informed the DA's Office that they had observed Plaintiff commit crimes and/or offenses. Plaintiff's criminal charges were subsequently adjourned in contemplation of dismissal.
