Officials Urge NYPD Commissioner to Let Wayne Isaacs Face Disciplinary Trial

The commissioner is set to review arguments on whether the CCRB can pursue the off-duty shooting case.

Overview

  • Thirty-three elected officials joined Delrawn Small’s family outside One Police Plaza, delivering a letter pressing Commissioner Jessica Tisch to allow a disciplinary trial or bring charges.
  • NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Trials Rosemarie Maldonado recommended dismissing the CCRB case, finding the board lacks jurisdiction over Isaacs’ off-duty conduct.
  • Tisch is expected to receive filings from Isaacs’ attorneys and the CCRB by Friday, and she has no deadline to decide, leaving the Nov. 19 trial date in doubt.
  • The CCRB points to Isaacs’ prior civil-court position that he acted within the scope of his NYPD duties, after which the city paid $125,000 to Small’s partner.
  • Isaacs was acquitted of criminal charges in 2017, later cleared by the NYPD’s Force Investigation Division, and remains on the force assigned to Floyd Bennett Field.
