The New York Civilian Liberties Union says civilian complaints against police officers have risen in the first half of 2009—up an alarming 11 percent over the same period last year. The number of officers under review for garnering too many complaints is up 50 percent over the last two years, according to the NYCLU.
Complaints cited in the report ranged from allegations of abuse to questions about officer conduct.
The NYCLU said complaints have spiked because “the NYPD isn't disciplining officers found to have abused civilians, and does not seem to be doing anything to help stop the mushrooming number of officers being monitored.”
