New York makes complaint records of 83,000 police officers available to public

Files made public as part of a national push for greater police transparency following the death of George Floyd

The complaint records of 83,000 active and former New York City police officers have been added to a searchable public database justice advocates hope will help citizens and activists identify problem officers and trends in police abuse.

The records were made public as part of a national push for greater police transparency following the death of George Floyd, an African American man, under the knee of a white police officer in Minneapolis last year.
