Overview
- Deputy Commissioner of Trials Rosemarie Maldonado recommended dismissing CCRB charges against Officer Wayne Isaacs, finding the board lacks jurisdiction because he was off duty.
- A departmental trial is scheduled to begin Nov. 19, but it will only proceed if Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch overrules the dismissal recommendation.
- CCRB officials point to Isaacs’ 2017–2019 civil case filings asserting he acted within the scope of his NYPD duties, a position that helped secure a $125,000 city settlement.
- Thirty-three elected officials and advocates rallied at police headquarters and sent Tisch a letter urging her to allow the case to be tried, with leaders including Brad Lander, Adrienne Adams and Jumaane Williams.
- The Police Benevolent Association backs dismissal as a check on CCRB overreach, Isaacs remains on the NYPD payroll at Floyd Bennett Field, and the NYPD says the disciplinary process is ongoing.
