Mollen Commission records for 1992 to 1994


Description

These records seem to have been transferred in 1992 from the Acting Police Commissioner, though the Mollen Commission itself was a mayoral appointed committee, separate bureaucratically from the New York Police Department. The Mollen Commission, formerly known as "The City of New York Commission to Investigate Allegations of Police Corruption and the Anti-Corruption Procedures of the Police Department," was initiated by Mayor Dinkins in 1992 in response to allegations of corruption in the NYPD and was charged with investigating the Department for those allegations. The records include training manuals, founding documents, correspondence, background information related to members of the commission, meeting minutes, corruption allegation reports, precinct monitoring files, budgets, audio and video interviews, complaint logs, and other types of memorandums and materials documenting the full scope of the work of the Commission. Some records are arranged chronologically and some are not arranged.
