Conclusion Meanings:
'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.
'Unfounded': Evidence suggests that the event or alleged conduct did not occur.
'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.
'Within NYPD Guidelines': The conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.

Complaint
Description: On January 13, 2017 at around 4pm, Ms. Santos, a Latina, was inside her apartment in Richmond County when six NYPD officers accosted her and accused her of breaking her building super's window. She and her super had ongoing disputes over building maintenance, and the officers had reason to know that the super was not a reliable complaining witness. Further, officers refused to review surveillance footage that would have cleared up the situation, but instead arrested Ms. Santos and held her in custody for twenty hours.
