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.

Zero Disposition
Complaint
Description: On July 24, 2018, Plaintiff was picked up by several NYPD officers (Defendants) for a parole violation. While in Defendants' vehicle, Plaintiff asked to be brought to the parole office. Defendants choked Plaintiff and punched him all over his body, causing injuries to Plaintiff's legs and back. Plaintiff's Parole Officer, M. Prophete, said that she would provide the assaulting officers' names, but did not do so. Individuals at Bellevue Hospital falsified documents to cover up the act.
