The Whistleblower

LAst HAlloween, three weeks after he made allegations of misconduct in Brook- lyn’s 81st Precinct, Adrian Schoolcraft’s NYPD Tapes career in the New York City Police Department ended in rather spectacular fashion. 4: On October 7, Schoolcraft had sat for three hours with an inspector, a lieuten- The WhistleBlower ant, and three sergeants with the Quality Assistance Division—the NYPD unit Adrian Schoolcraft wanted his bosses that monitors the accuracy of police re- ports—as they questioned him about his to know about N.Y.P.D. misconduct. allegations that precinct bosses had re- So they put him in a mental ward fused to take criminal complaints and had downgraded crimes. They told him they would launch a substantial investigation. By Graham Rayman After the meeting, Schoolcraft went Photo illustration by Chad Griffith about his normal work as a member of the 81st Precinct. Then, on the afternoon of October 31, he felt sick and went home about an hour early. Precinct supervi- sors appeared at his door hours later, claiming he had violated policy and demanding that he return to work. One of his visitors was a deputy chief, who upbraided him while sitting on the edge of his bed. On orders from that deputy chief, Schoolcraft was then thrown to the floor, handcuffed, dragged from his Queens apartment, and taken against his will to a psychiatric ward at Jamaica Hospital. His forced hospitalization lasted six days. Police officers also removed papers from his home that documented his concerns about NYPD operations. Jamaica Hospital officials charged him $7,000 for his stay—and an- other $86 to obtain his own medical records. Schoolcraft has been introduced to Voice readers as the Bed-Stuy cop who secretly taped 117 roll calls at the precinct, as well as many other conversations with his fellow cops. In our series, “The NYPD Tapes,” the Voice has been making these recordings public, and they show a pattern of police downgrading crimes, intimidating crime victims, and enforcing quotas for writing tickets and performing “stop-and-frisks.” Schoolcraft also had his digital re- corder rolling as his superior officers threw him to the ground and hauled him off to the mental ward. Those recordings reveal that he was rational throughout the encounter, and refused medical assistance that was then forced on him. In addition, hospital records show that the medical staff was mis- led by an NYPD sergeant about the events of that day, causing doctors to treat him as a psychiatric patient. Like the previous recordings the Voice has made public, these tapes suggest that Adrian Schoolcraft is an ordinary cop who got caught on the wrong side of department politics, tried to report cor- ruption, and paid for it with his career.
