Police Department Discipline

Since 1995, the rate at which police officers against whom the CCRB substantiates allegations receive discipline has more than doubled. Of the officers against whom the CCRB substantiated allegations in 1995, the police department disciplined only 31%. From 2002 onward, the department has imposed some discipline in more than 70% of the substantiated cases forwarded by the CCRB. The department imposed discipline in 78% of the substantiated CCRB cases that it resolved in 2006, the highest rate since 1993.
