Conclusion Meanings:

'Exonerated': or 'Within NYPD Guidelines' - The conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.
'Substantiated': The misconduct occurred and it violated the rules. The NYPD has discretion over what, if any, discipline is imposed.
'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.

Description: On July 24, 2018, Plaintiff was picked up by several NYPD officers (Defendants) for a parole violation. While in Defendants' vehicle, Plaintiff asked to be brought to the parole office. Defendants choked Plaintiff and punched him all over his body, causing injuries to Plaintiff's legs and back. Plaintiff's Parole Officer, M.
