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.
'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: On or about February 20, 2016, plaintiff, an NYPD officer, was driving while off-duty when he was pulled over by NYPD Officers Richard Hanson and Kerin Donahue.

Sergeant Ruffin ordered that plaintiff be taken to the 32nd Precinct. After the officers made false, unfounded claims about plaintiff, charges were filed against him and an NYPD disciplinary trial was held. Plaintiff was suspended without pay.
