NYC Department of Investigation:

By policy, @NYPDnews does not investigate or reprimand officers accused of using racial slurs, and has not substantiated *any* claims of biased policing since it created that complaint classification.
By the numbers:

* The public has made 2,495 complaints of biased policing.
* DOI examined 888.
* NYPD substantiated 0.

Complaints of racial slurs are not investigated if no accusation of an additional police action.
The DOI report paints a picture of an NYPD that lets officers use racist slurs with impunity.
The findings contained in @NYC_DOI's 57-page report on NYPD bias are startling, even for those cynical about the problem. It's difficult to imagine a more complete abdication by the department.

Read it here: documentcloud.org/documents/6171…
Charts: Most of the bias complaints allege racism, and most of those filing complaints are black.
DOI's report ends with 24 recommendations.

This one will be important to reporters: transparency, with investigators noting that the NYPD refuses to disclose bias information that other police departments regularly make public.
