The Journal News on MSNCan NY police departments legally destroy their police misconduct records? Here's howNew York's repeal of Section 50-a of its Civil Rights Law aimed to increase police transparency by making misconduct records public. A separate law, a retention schedule called LGS-1, allows police departments to destroy records after three years.
Police say the man is a retired Beacon police officer and was involved in the incident, which happened shortly after 9 p.m. The department says it received a call from a man reporting he had shot his roommate. Responding officers determined the retired officer was one of the people involved and immediately detained him.
