The chairman of the Civilian Complaint Review Board (“CCRB”), Richard Emery, has resigned just one day after a gender discrimination and retaliation lawsuit was filed against him. The lawsuit alleges that Mr. Emery discriminated and retaliated against Mina Malik, the Executive Director of the CCRB. Mr. Emery, who abruptly stepped down within 24 hours of the lawsuit being filed, has been at the center of the recent controversy surrounding the CCRB. Mr. Emery is already the subject of litigation by Ms. Malik’s predecessor, Tracy Catapano-Fox, who alleges she was fired after complaining to Mr. Emery about sexual harassment by CCRB board member Bishop Mitchell Taylor. Additionally, Mr. Emery’s resignation comes just two months after Mr. Emery apologized to the NYPD for saying police unions were “squealing like a stuck pig.”
