The #NYPD Is Tossing Out Hundreds of Misconduct Cases — Including Stop-and-Frisks — Without Even Looking at Them

The department has killed more than 400 cases of alleged misconduct this year that an oversight board had investigated and substantiated.

It’s part of a lax attitude toward discipline under the current #police commissioner, Edward Caban, critics say.

    The standards are far too low, for the benefit that they receive. You would need to know more to be a short order cook . Every policeman’s record should be publicly recorded and follow them for life. The union should represent them, but have no input on managements decisions to terminate them.

    Never vote for a policeman to be a politician

    @ProPublica@newsie.social The problem with stop and frisk is the criteria for who looks suspicious is entirely subjective and in the moment. What needs to happen is to draw up some objective criteria for what a suspicious behavior looks like and the officer should be trained on the protocol.

    "The cases were fully investigated and substantiated by the city’s #police oversight agency, the Civilian Complaint Review Board, and sent to the #NYPD for disciplinary action…

    The practice of killing cases without review began three years ago as a way to cope with escalating caseloads that were approaching a deadline for discipline. But ProPublica found it has become more frequent under Police Commissioner Edward Caban."
