Conclusion Meanings:
'Exonerated': or 'Within NYPD Guidelines' - The conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.
'Substantiated': The misconduct occurred and it violated the rules. The NYPD has discretion over what, if any, discipline is imposed.
'Unsubstantiated': or 'Unable to Determine' - The alleged conduct was investigated but could not determine both that the conduct occurred and that it broke the rules.

Description: Plaintiff, a sixth-grade student, was walking a few blocks away to catch a bus back home. The plaintiff observed her classmates throw snowballs at a passing car.

The plaintiff said no, but then was approached by a police officer. The officer motioned for her to come to him, and then grabbed the plaintiff and arrested her. The officer grabbed her by the back of the neck, threw her onto the ground, and tightly handcuffed her. Plaintiffs made a CCRB complaint, which found that Officer Gaglio had provided a false statement and accusation.
