NYPD Misconduct Allegations Closed Since 2000 from the Civilian Complaint Review Board

Since 2000, the Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) has maintained a database of closed allegations against uniformed members of the New York Police Department. The dataset is part of a public database of police misconduct records, published as four related tables. Public records exclude complaints closed as Mediated, Administrative Closure, or other specified categories.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in complaint types and outcomes based on the closed allegation records.
• Study the relationships between complaints, allegations, officers, and penalties based on the multi-table database structure.
• Assess the impact of policy changes, such as the 2020 repeal of law 50-a, on data availability and complaint visibility.

Strengths

• Records span from the year 2000, providing over two decades of data.
• Data is structured as a multi-table relational database, linking complaints, allegations, officers, and penalties.
• Public records were expanded following the June 2020 repeal of New York Civil Rights law 50-a.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Public records exclude complaints closed in specific categories like Mediation or Administrative Closure.
