The New York Civilian Complaint Review said it would release a report on the number of chokehold complaints it had received following the chokehold death of Eric Garner in Staten Island in July. The report was delayed in August when the agency discovered 156 additional chokehold complaints.

A draft of the 120 paged report was leaked to the New York Post, and published on Saturday.

There were 1,128 chokehold complaints since 2009, 211 from July 2013 to June 2014, an uptick in complaints, the report states. Of the 1082 cases, (some cases had several chokehold complaints) 520 were full investigated, while 608 could be not be. Of those 520 complaints only 10 were followed through with substantiated chokehold allegations. The worst punishment from the disciplinary judge to a police officer was loss of vacation time.

The report also found, "The use of chokeholds as a restraint technique persists and has grown increasingly over time."

Chokeholds are prohibited under the NYPD Patrol Guide -- "from applying any pressure to the neck that may inhibit breathing."

When a civilian filed a complaint with CCRB in the last twelve months it was more than likely to allege a chokehold than at any time in the recent past, said the report.

Of the findings in the report, "Half the officers in chokehold complaints had a history of six or more CCRB complaints, with 25 percent of officers having a history of 10 or more complaints," the report states.

"The precincts with the highest number of chokehold incidents were the 75th (East New York) and 73rd (Ocean Hills/Brownsville)."

There were three precincts with no chokehold complaints since 2009 -- Central Park, 66th (Borough Park, Brooklyn) and the newly created 121st (Staten Island). That precinct is, now of course, at the center of the grand jury investigation into the death of Eric Garner who met for the first time on Monday.

Other discoveries in the report, "In the majority of chokehold cases, 64 percent, there were three or more officers listed in the complaints. In a third, there were five or more officers present and in nearly a quarter cases 25 percent there were two or more officers, and in 11 percent of cases there was just one officer."

And lastly, "Newer cops are more likely to be accused of chokeholds."

The CCRB is due to issue its formal report, which might be this week or next. However, police unions are already weighing in on its contents.

"Any report based on unsworn, unsubstantiated and poorly investigated complaints that were filed by criminals is totally meaningless," said Patrick Lynch, president of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association told New York Post.

The report comes with recommendations -- better training for all cops, better tracking and disciplining of problem cops, and instruction for NYPD disciplinary judges as to defiinition of chokeholds.

"A year ago, the NYPD was attacked for excessive stop, question and frisk complaints,'' said Ed Mullins, the president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association. "[Now] the CCRB produces a chokehold study that ... gives no indication of the circumstances in which the officers are involved. Nor does it mention charges of resisting arrest, attacks on officers and officer injuries."
