The union sued Friday in New York state Supreme Court, alleging the CCRB failed to notify officers when disciplinary records were requested under the Freedom of Information Law.
PBA President Patrick Hendry accused the board of anti-police bias, while CCRB spokesperson Dakota Gardner said its investigations and record-release practices are thorough, impartial and legally compliant.
The case follows a federal suit filed two weeks earlier alleging the CCRB released unsubstantiated complaints without properly redacting sensitive information, extending the union's broader court challenge to the oversight body.
