The Office of Special Investigation of the Attorney General's Office investigates officer-involved shootings.

"Pursuant to New York State Executive Law Section 70-b, OSI assesses every incident reported to it where a police officer or a peace officer, including a corrections officer, may have caused the death of a person, by an act or omission. Under the law, the officer may be on-duty or off-duty, and the decedent may be armed or unarmed. Also, the decedent may or may not be in custody or incarcerated. If OSI's assessment indicates an officer caused the death, OSI proceeds to conduct a full investigation of the incident," the AG's office states.
