The case against Officer Wayne Isaacs has taken several turns since Delrawn Small’s death. Isaacs was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter charges in 2017. Small’s family filed a complaint with the CCRB, alleging police misconduct, in 2018.
NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell will allow the city’s police oversight agency to move forward with disciplinary proceedings for police misconduct against Wayne Isaacs, an NYPD officer involved in the shooting death of 37-year-old Delrawn Small in 2016.
A spokesperson for the CCRB said the agency received a letter notifying it of the commissioner’s decision. Small’s siblings, Victoria Davis and Victor Dempsey, released a joint statement saying they had also been notified on Thursday. The case against officer Isaacs, who is also Black, has taken several turns since Small’s death. Isaacs was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter charges in a criminal trial in 2017. Small’s family then filed a complaint with the CCRB alleging police misconduct in 2018.
Isaac’s police union attorneys then asked the Supreme Court of New York County to stop those proceedings, which the court denied. His lawyer’s last-ditch request to Commissioner Sewell was based on a 2012 memorandum of understanding between the police department and the CCRB that, according to Darche, allows the commissioner to intervene in cases where the officer either has no disciplinary history or where there are “parallel or related criminal investigations.
The discipline trial of Officer Wayne Isaacs should be scheduled as soon as possible, and he should be fired for the safety of all New Yorkers“Isaacs murdered our brother,” Small’s family members said in their written statement this week. “Isaacs should have already been fired, and it's outrageous that the police union continues to play games. The discipline trial of Officer Wayne Isaacs should be scheduled as soon as possible, and he should be fired for the safety of all New Yorkers.
