NEW YORK — More than 100 racial bias and profiling cases against cops are stalled by disagreement with the Police Department over what evidence to consider in the probes, the Civilian Complaint Review Board says.
Under terms of a law passed by the City Council last year, the CCRB took over from the New York Police Department investigations of cases where cops are accused of racial profiling or showing bias during an encounters with citizens.
Under the new law, the CCRB can look back as much as five years for cases in which the officer may also have been accused of racial profiling or bias.
