New shakeup for cop review bd.

- Graham Rayman

THE CIVILIAN COMPLAINT Review Board has its third chair in 14 months, as Maya Wiley stepped down and Deborah Archer took her place.

New School Prof. Wiley had assumed the helm during a turbulent period for the agency after civil rights lawyer Richard Emery left.

Emery was sued just prior to his resignatio­n by then-Executive Director Mina Malik after allegedly making an offensive remark in an April 2016 meeting. Emery maintains he never directed the remark at her and that Malik distorted the incident.

Malik abruptly dropped her suit that April and quit the agency in November. Jonathan Darche, a former Queens prosecutor, replaced her. Archer, a visiting professor of clinical law at New York University, is married to Richard Buery, the deputy mayor for strategic policy initiative­s.
