The report, which was published by LatinoJustice, a civil rights group, claims that nearly 200 NYPD officers were caught lying to the city’s Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) about misconduct while on the job. According to the report, from 2010 to 2020, 181 NYPD officers gave false statements to the CCRB about misconduct. Among the 181 officers, 80 faced no discipline, while 42 received “instructions or a command discipline,” the report said.

LatinoJustice filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIL) request to the CCRB, which allowed the nonprofit group to review 144 cases involving 181 officers accused of misconduct while on the job, from 2010 to 2020.

The report also states that under NYPD policy, officers who are found to have made false statements will be dismissed from their post. The report discusses several incidents in which NYPD officers lied to protect their partners about misconduct.
