Description

Following the death of Eric Garner in Staten Island in 2014 and others across the Nation, there has been a public call for greater accountability when police officers use force that appears neither reasonable nor proportional. This report investigated the New York Police Departmentäó»s (NYPDäó»s) use of force by reviewing a large sample of force investigations. It examines five aspects of use of force within NYPD: trends; reporting; de-escalation; training; and discipline. The report begins by highlighting data and trends from excessive or unnecessary force cases substantiated by the Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB). It then presents the findings of an independent analysis of force cases. Finally, it analyzes and evaluates NYPDäó»s disciplinary system, including a close review of cases where it was determined that the use of force was not reasonable or justified. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
