The NYPD uses a “biased investigation process” to boot civil service candidates from working with the department, according to court papers.
The NYPD discriminates against black and Latino job candidates, a high-ranking civilian employee claims in a new lawsuit.
The legal claim from Arabia Jennings says she was sidelined and sent to work in a rodent-infested storage closet after she raised alarms about the department’s hiring practices. Jennings, who is black, voiced concern about “a disproportionate number of African-American and Latino candidates [that] were being disqualified from employment with the NYPD,” she said in the Manhattan Federal Court lawsuit.
