NYPD Officer Allegations and Dispositions Since 2000

2000 to present records of closed allegations against NYPD officers, maintained by New York City's Civilian Complaint Review Board. The dataset details individual allegations, including complainant and officer information, from a public database expanded after the 2020 repeal of law 50-a. It is published as part of a four-table series covering complaints, officers, allegations, and penalties.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between Officer Days On Force At Incident and CCRB Allegation Disposition to model career-stage risk factors.
• Classifying FADO Type (Force, Abuse of Authority, Discourtesy, Offensive Language) by Victim / Alleged Victim Race / Ethnicity and Victim/Alleged Victim Age Range to identify demographic disparities.
• Predicting NYPD Allegation Disposition using features like Officer Rank At Incident, Officer Command At Incident, and Allegation type.
• Tracing complaint histories by joining on Complaint Id to analyze multiple Allegations per incident across the related database tables.

Strengths

• Covers allegations from 2000 to the present, providing over two decades of temporal coverage.
• Includes detailed features per allegation such as victim demographics, officer details, and dual disposition outcomes from CCRB and NYPD.
• Integrated with a larger public database of police misconduct records, allowing for relational analysis across complaints, officers, and penalties.

Limitations

• Excludes complaints closed as Mediated, Administrative Closure, or Other Possible Misconduct Noted, creating a selection bias.
• Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting assessment of statistical power.
• Contains legacy race/ethnicity columns (Victim / Alleged Victim Race (Legacy)) which may indicate data consistency issues over time.
