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.
'SRAD Closure': Strategic Resource Allocation Determination - due to citywide budget cuts, CCRB is no longer able to fully investigate certain cases within its jurisdiction and suspended investigating some types of complaints.
'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.

Isaacs, Andrew vs City of Ny, et al.
Case # 722548/2021, Supreme Court - Queens, February 14, 2022
Complaint
Description: On or about July 24, 2020, Plaintiff was unlawfully arrested and prosecuted on the street by Officer David Fitchik, Officer Patrick Wright, and Officer John Robert. Plaintiff was then arrested and prosecuted. The defendants fabricated evidence. The defendants gave false testimony to the grand jury and hid exculpatory evidence. Even though the defendant police officers and District Attorney knew, or should have known, that no crime had been committed, they still proceeded to arrest plaintiff, charge and then drop same charges, assault and incarcerate plaintiff just to intimidate plaintiff, further aggravating the plaintiff’s injuries.
