NYPD failed to find one incident of biased policing in five years

HEADS IN THE SAND!!!!

The NYPD has not substantiated a single complaint of biased policing since the nation’s largest police agency began tracking and investigating such allegations five years ago, according to a damning report released Wednesday.

There were at least 2,495 complaints from members of the public about biased policing based on race, national origin, sexual orientation and other classifications filed between 2014 and the end of 2018, the city’s Department of Investigation and NYPD Inspector General Philip Eure found.

And yet “NYPD officials confirmed in June 2019 that the Department has never substantiated an allegation of biased policing,” the report states.

DOI examined 888 of the allegations covering a two-and-a-half-year period and found inadequacies in how the department tracked and investigated them, the report claims. It also found that the Civilian Complaint Review Board — the non-police department agency that investigates police misconduct — doesn’t investigate bias complaints, unlike similar review agencies associated with the country’s 20 largest police departments.
