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.
