Incredibly excited to announce the release of CAPstat- the culmination of 4 yrs of hard work tracking and investigating police misconduct, resulting in a public database of misconduct allegations against NYPD officers! Check it out here: CAPstat.nyc
CAPstat has searchable data on thousands of lawsuits against NYPD officers that have cost NYC taxpayers $50 million in 3.5 years. Search the lawsuit data here: capstat.nyc/lawsuits/
All active NYPD officers & their payroll data (including rank/promotion history, salary, & overtime) are on #CAPstat You can see, for example, how an officer like David Grieco was promoted to Sergeant in 2018 after being sued 7x in 2017 (& 32x total) capstat.nyc/officer/20733/
The #CAPstat command map can be used to identify the NYPD commands operating in your neighborhood, along with their lawsuits and officers. It also showcases hotbeds of misconduct, like the 75th precinct with $9mil worth of misconduct settlements. See: capstat.nyc/commands
Misconduct is not always the result of one rogue cop but rather poor directives, policing tactics, & institutionalized patterns of aggressive policing. You can see the network of officers and commands sued together using the #CAPstat network analysis capstat.nyc/network/
