Nominally, this fund is off limits in case "directly or indirectly adverse to the interests of the City," but this is meaningless: when someone sues over police brutality, the City is usually a co-defendant, meaning defending the dirty cop is in the City's interest.
The City's contract with the Police Benevolent Association - the NYPD's union - expired in 2017 and will likely be renegotiated by whomever wins the upcoming NYC mayoral race.
