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.

Zero Disposition
Complaint
Description: On or about April 17, 2018, plaintiff was asleep in her apartment when NYPD officers, including officers McArdle, Wala, Serrano, and Gravitch entered without probable cause and conducted a search without a warrant. The officers handcuffed plaintiff's daughter, claiming that she had violated an order of protection. The judge who issued the order of protection based such issuance on hearsay.
