 Although not stated on their web page, all communications with Investigators and both civilians and Members of Service are tape-recorded as well as transcribed, to ensure accuracy.Additionally, contrary to popular (and occasionally published belief, see a former CCRB Investigator's misstatements and an Officer's misunderstanding in Vice Magazine's article on the CCRB), all statements made to a CCRB Investigator on the record are considered sworn testimony, and are treated as such legally.All Investigators are Commissioners of Deeds by requirement and may depose anyone within New York City limits.
