CBS New York featured Dyson Professor Darrin Porcher in "NYPD Adopts New Guidelines For Disciplining Officer Misconduct; Mayor De Blasio Says It’s A ‘Game Changer’"
Mayor Bill de Blasio calls it a big step forward for transparency in policing. The NYPD has adopted new guidelines for disciplining officer misconduct, CBS2’s Natalie Duddridge reported Thursday. However, there still may be exceptions to the Matrix, said Darrin Porcher, a former NYPD lieutenant and current criminal justice professor at Pace University. “The recent Matrix introduced is not overall binding. When I say not overall binding, it’s going to be gauged on a case-by-case basis. Some instances may not appear to have an egregious act that was committed,” Porcher said.
