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.
In response to community requests for bicycle and pedestrian improvements on the Pulaski Bridge, DOT proposes building a new bicycle path on the bridge adjacent to the existing shared path. The design includes a new barrier to protect bicyclists from motor vehicles. This proposed path would double the space on the bridge dedicated to bicyclists and pedestrians, enhance safety by separating those two modes and improve access to Long Island City subway stations for Brooklyn residents.
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.
The Report reviews 10 chokehold cases substantiated by the Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) between 2009 and 2014 and illustrates that in practice, historically, the disciplinary process is complex, multi-tiered, and often delivers inconsistent results.
