Vails v. Police Dept. of City of New York

OPINION

CHIN, District Judge.

In this case, plaintiff Dawn Vails contends that she was subjected to discrimination by the New York City Police Department (the “NYPD”) on the basis of her gender in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. (“Title VII”). Vails was discharged in 1989, only four-and-a-half months after graduating from the police academy. She contends that she was refused training, subjected to sexual harassment, and ultimately fired because of her gender. She also contends that she was retaliated against for complaining of the discrimination.
