Description:: The general goals of this study were to determine the adequacy of the Department's screening process and whether the Applicant Processing Division (APD) was following its own guidelines. Additionally, the Commission sought to determine if certain types of negative information discovered during background checks were indicators of future misconduct. Those candidates who demonstrated dishonesty, violent behavior, or a history of disregarding authority figures and/or the law might be more likely to engage in corrupt activities in the future. Since a history of dishonest or other corrupt behavior may not be readily apparent, thorough background investigations into core areas that include the candidate's reputation in the community, academic records, disciplinary records from schools and prior jobs, military records, and criminal history, if any, are a necessity. The Commission found APD's system of conducting background checks could be improved.

Description:: In meetings with several local District Attorneys' offices, one topic that was continuously raised by the local prosecutors was the constant rotation of investigators into and out of the Internal Affairs Bureau (IAB) confirming the Commission's own observations. Because the high rate of turnover could have a negative impact on both the quality and efficiency of IAB investigations, the Commission believed this issue should be addressed, but recognized that IAB encountered a number of challenges in its efforts to recruit and retain personnel.

Date Published:: 2004-11-30
Description:: In this report, the Commission examined the ability of the New York City Police Department to investigate cases involving deaths of civilians in police custody or as a result of police action. In these situations, the officers responsible for the death of the civilian typically did not prepare reports or provide immediate statements to the Department. The Commission explored whether changes could be made to the system, either through a change in the Patrol Guide or through a change in prevailing law to better enable the Department to obtain immediate statements or reports.

Date Published:: 2004-03-31
Description:: The Commission re-examined the qualifications, training, and supervision of the Department Advocates and the preparation and presentation of cases in the Department's trial rooms to determine whether the administrative disciplinary system had improved since the release of the Commission's original July 2000 report: The New York City Police Department's Prosecution of Disciplinary Cases. The Commission found that significant delays still existed in the disciplinary process, which negatively impacted upon the prosecution of cases. The Commission also found that insufficient case enhancement continued to be a considerable problem, which appeared to be caused by the inexperience of the Advocates and the lack of substantial supervisory oversight.
