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.
'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.
'Within NYPD Guidelines': The alleged conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.

Jesse Lance knocked on the door under the false guise that they had heard gunshots. The officers insisted that they enter the premises, but plaintiffs demanded a warrant to allow entry. This encounter lasted for more than hour, and the officers didn't allow plaintiffs to close their front door. As some of the plaintiffs were peacefully exiting, one plaintiff was dragged outside of the subject premises, p...
