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.

Case # 16CV03088,
U.S. District Court - Southern District NY, May 5, 2016
Complaint
Description: Plaintiff waived to officers as he entered a Rite Aid store to go shopping. Defendant officers then followed him into the store, asked him for his ID, searched him, and made him leave the store. Officers then falsely claimed there was a warrant for his arrest, repeatedly searched him, and then handcuffed him and brought him to PSA 8 where he was charged with Jaywalking. The charge was dismissed at a bench trial where the judge found Defendant Officer Edmond's testimony to be incredible.
