BREAKING: New docs reveal 100s of internal NYPD findings of false statements, improper invoicing of cash/drugs + other misconduct. 1 cop, accused of drug planting on body-camera before, had 2 findings of improperly documenting drug seizures the same year: gothamist.com/news/staten-is…
2/ These are different from civilian complaint records released by @propublica and @NYCLU. They describe internal NYPD investigations + came from @statenislandda due to work by @gideonoliver as part of a FOIL fight we've been leading for months

3/ Officer Kyle Erickson, for example, faced light NYPD discipline twice for invoice discrepancies following two separate drug seizures. The same year he was seen twice on body-cameras appearing to plant marijuana on suspects @sydneyp1234

4/ As far as I'm aware this release is the biggest single dump of records describing internal NYPD investigations, since @KendallTTaggart + @michaelhayes released a larger trove of raw NYPD documents in 2018:

6/ The docs also include new information kept internally by prosecutors on alleged instances of officers making false or inaccurate statements to prosecutors behind closed doors:
7/ We have not made the more than 4,000 released documents publicly available yet because they contain numerous names of civilians, prosecutors, phone numbers etc.

STARTING NOW: A judge is expected to decide on police unions' request for a preliminary injunction against NYC's plans to publish police misconduct records online. Yesterday civilian complaint data went public, but many more NYPD records are still secret:

Judge Katherine Polk Failla begins reading her decision... promises its going to be long.
Judge Failla begins by going over this cases' months long history. I believe there's over a 100 people on this call.

STARTING NOW in SDNY: Police unions are arguing that a preliminary injunction should be issued to further prevent city agencies from releasing thousands of police misconduct records online or via FOIL (yes this is the 2nd hearing related to this subject today):
This is the bigger case, not just about one body of records obtained by NYCLU from the CCRB. Note: this is being led by Judge Failla, who temporarily blocked the NYC’s planned release of 1000s of misconduct records, once shielded by 50-a (repealed by Albany earlier this year)

NEW: 1000s of previously secret records show which NYPD officers have had misconduct findings over + over again. Most got little to no discipline. Many were promoted. Here’s our dive into those with the most separate incidents of substantiated misconduct:
gothamist.com/news/here-are-…
2/ And here’s our big picture look at the data. Where civilians filed complaints. Who was most likely to get complaints substantiated. And what discipline officers most often received for substantiated findings:

3/ This data came from @propublica which obtained it from the CCRB via FOIL. For decades, these records have been secret. In less than 20 minutes, NYC police and other unions are scheduled to be in court fighting the release of further records. More here:
