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.

Complaint
Description: Plaintiff was charged with traffic violation, specifically, designated driving while intoxicated and was ordered to submit to screening for alcohol or substance abuse and dependency. Plaintiff then defaulted and failed to appear at his scheduled hearing. Allegedly this non-appearance resulted in the cancellation and dismissal of the violation. However, on July 15, his driving privileges were revoked because of his alleged refusal to submit a chemical test.
