Within minutes of the denial, the NYCLU's database went live with what it says has 35 years of data and over 300,000 complaints against over 81,000 NYPD officers. The coalition of unions, made up of the five police unions, the firefighters union and the correctional officers union, said Thursday that they will continue to fight the "improper" release of CCRB complaints. The CCRB complaints are those filed by a person accusing an NYPD officer of wrongdoing. The NYCLU says its database has 323,911 complaints concerning 81,550 officers and only 8,699 complaints led to a penalty. There were 19,833 officers named in five or more complaints but only 12 were fired by the NYPD, according to their data.
