In addition to its on-going monitoring function, the Commission to Combat Police Corruption is also working on a number of studies which focus on discrete areas of the NYPD's operations. A brief synopsis of these studies is provided below.
-
In its review of corruption cases handled by the Department over the past few years, the Commission has examined a number of cases where allegations were made against civilian members of the Department. The Commission, therefore, will be examining a number of background investigations conducted on civilian employees hired in the past two years to determine if the appropriate screening standards are in place and if the Department is following its own procedural guidelines for hiring civilian employees.
-
To encourage officers to come forth with information about corruption, the Department needs to have a system which provides a secure means for officers to report corrupt activity and a strong policy prohibiting retaliation against "whistle-blowers". The Commission plans on reviewing the mechanisms the Department currently has in place to promote this type of reporting, and the protection it provides to these officers.
-
The Commission believes that the Department can help maintain a corruption-free environment by instilling and regularly reaffirming the message that corrupt behavior will not be tolerated. The Commission plans on examining the quality of the on-going integrity training provided by the Department to members of the service after their graduation from the Police Academy and throughout their careers.
