Statement from Speaker Adrienne Adams on the Recommendation that No Disciplinary Action be Taken Against NYPD Officers in Killing of Kawaski Trawick

 

“I am deeply disappointed in Deputy Commissioner Maldonado’s recommendation and the rationale behind it. For several years, the Trawick family has waited for a shred of accountability for Kawaski’s killing. After delays and impediments by the NYPD to provide key evidence, those delays now being used as the reason to recommend no discipline is unjustifiable. Commissioner Caban can and must hold these officers accountable for misconduct – it’s what Kawaski’s family, New Yorkers, and officers who have not engaged in misconduct deserve from the NYPD.”
