NEW YORK — Two New York Police Department officers were forced to retire after the department discovered they lied about investigating cases, including domestic violence and drug complaints, department documents say.
Officer Eric Cabrera was assigned to the 113th Precinct in Jamaica when he improperly closed 25 investigations in 2019 — including numerous domestic violence cases — by making false entries in the department’s case monitoring system, which tracks investigative steps.
The NYPD says Cabrera closed without due diligence harassment cases where a suspect texted the victim, “I’m going to kill you;” and where another suspect sent threatening messages saying she would “come for the victim and burn her house and car.”
