Conclusion Meanings:
'OMB PEG Directive Closure': 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.
'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.

Shand, Jamal vs P.O. Mendez, Maria, et al.Case # 16CV03950, U.S. District Court - Southern District NY, June 30, 2016, ended March 20, 2017
$25,000 Settlement
Complaint
Description: Plaintiffs were sitting on their steps observing a police investigation of a possible shooting in the vicinity when Defendant Officer Mendez approached them, questioned them about the shooting, and then responded with mocking insults and innuendos when they could not provide any information. One plaintiff then walked away to diffuse the situation when Defendant Officers seized him from behind with a chokehold, handcuffed him, and assaulted him. He was taken to the 32nd Precinct and charged with assault upon a police officer, resisting arrest and related charges, which were later dismissed after a jury trial.
