2025 Annual Report
Civilian Complaint Review Board · document
The CCRB's 2025 annual report covers complaint activity, investigations, racial-profiling and bias-based policing, the disciplinary process, mediation, and body-worn camera evidence. It reports that the NYPD's disciplinary concurrence rate — the share of the Board's discipline recommendations the NYPD agreed with — rose to 84% in 2025 from 30% in 2024, after the Police Commissioner ended the practice of dismissing recommendations as substantiated too close to the 18-month statute of limitations. The CCRB received more than 5,500 complaints in each of the last three years, which it reports as the most since 2013. Facing an investigator shortage, the agency closed some complaints without a full investigation under a policy it calls Strategic Resource Allegation Determinations (SRAD).
