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.
'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.

$12,500 Settlement
Complaint
Description: On September 17, 2020, plaintiff Liam Fletcher participated in a protest in Lower Manhattan against federal Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after reports that ICE performed non-consensual hysterectomies. Approximately 50 protesters including plaintiff congregated outside the federal building housing the local ICE field office in Foley Square, and were met by more than 100 NYPD officers, who funneled the protesters onto the street as the protesters began marching west towards Broadway. Because some NYPD officers began tackling protesters, protesters including plaintiff ran south on Broadway to try to escape potential assault.

Complaint
Description: On March 15, 2014, defendants Sgt. Bekim Kalicovic and PO Michael Tarulli entered plaintiff's apartment at 185 Targee Street Apt. 2R in Staten Island, brandishing guns and threatening arrest and demanding to know where the guns were.
