RCNY § 15-17
(a)In all instances other than cases culminating in a report and recommendation by the Deputy Commissioner of Trials, upon receiving the final recommendation of CCRB with accompanying documents, the Commissioner may accept, reject, or modify the recommendation presented, or may ask CCRB for additional investigative or background information in its possession. He or she may also request further investigation or development of the record in the case to enable him or her to make a final determination in the case. If CCRB's recommendation is rejected or modified, CCRB will then be responsible for taking any appropriate follow-up action, such as proceeding with prosecution of the subject officer, engaging in additional investigation, or further developing the record in the case.
(b)The Department shall notify CCRB of the final disciplinary result and specific penalty in each case within thirty calendar days of the Commissioner's final determination.
