Michael Vaccaro – Malik Fogg Archive
For those fascinated by the inner workings of New Rochelle law enforcement, records from the electronic court filing system for the State of New York offers a wealth of compelling documents related to the Michael Vaccaro Article 78 proceeding against the City of New Rochelle. I’ve taken the time to meticulously download, upload, and link all these files here for easy access.
This collection is a goldmine for anyone curious about police department operations, including disciplinary procedures, arrest protocols, and general law enforcement practices. Among the highlights are the transcripts from the closed-door disciplinary hearing, which provide a rare glimpse into a typically opaque process. Having had the unique opportunity to attend a police disciplinary hearing years ago as a civilian, I can attest to how uncommon such access is.
The documents also include the complete court transcript, communications between the police department and Vaccaro, and an array of memos and manuals detailing the operational framework of the New Rochelle Police Department. For the select few who, like me, find this level of detail captivating, this trove of information is nothing short of a treasure chest.
Explore the links provided to uncover the intricacies of this case and gain unparalleled insight into the mechanisms of local law enforcement.
