A 5617 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to amending the New York City Charter in relation to expanding the investigative scope of the Civilian Complaint Review Board

This bill expands the Civilian Complaint Review Board's (CCRB) authority to investigate complaints against NYPD officers alleging bias-based profiling. It specifically adds to the CCRB's jurisdiction complaints involving bias based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics - such as when officers target individuals based on these factors rather than behavior. The bill also requires the CCRB to investigate the truthfulness of official police statements made during complaint resolutions and mandates that findings cannot rely solely on unsworn complaints or prior unsubstantiated claims. This directly affects NYPD officers, the public filing complaints, and the CCRB's investigative process.
