NYPD Watchdog Chair Says Chokehold Report Will Be "Troubling"

Jon Campbell

The new chair of the Civilian Complaint Review Board, the agency charged with reviewing citizen allegations of misconduct against the NYPD, said last night that a forthcoming study would reveal "troubling" findings about the alleged use of chokeholds by police officers in the city.

Speaking at the board's monthly meeting, Richard Emery, who took the reins of the organization three months ago, didn't give many details - or a deadline for the report's release - but suggested it would be before the public within "a couple" of weeks. The report had been scheduled for release in late August or early September.
