Abstract

This dataset provides the 2010 decisions that have been issued by complaint examiners resolving complaints filed with the Office of Police Complaints.

The agency is independent of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), the District of Columbia's 3,800-member police force, and the D.C. Housing Authority Police Department (DCHAPD), the Housing Authority's 75-member police force, and its mission is to receive, investigate, and resolve police misconduct complaints filed by the public against MPD and DCHAPD officers. Additional information about Police Complaint Examiner Decisions and the Office of Police Complaints may be found on the OPC website: http://occr.dc.gov/occr/site/default.asp
