In his five-page statement, Commissioner Edward Caban identified no inaccuracies in ProPublica's investigation but instead argued the story was unfair and that he’s “in compliance” with the guidelines. Our reporting shows otherwise.

As we reported, there are seven cases in which the NYPD has, since last summer, declined to formally notify officers of charges brought against them. Without such notification, there can be no disciplinary trial.

These cases include chokeholds, Tasings and beating a teenager with a baton. Each one was so serious that the CCRB concluded that the officers’ conduct was likely criminal. And there is no public disclosure when the department simply doesn’t inform an officer, effectively stalling the case indefinitely.
