NYPD's Top Cop Resigns Amidst Scandal

New York City is reeling after the sudden resignation of NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey. Maddrey's departure follows allegations of sexual misconduct and an investigation into potential overtime abuse.

Allegations of Sexual Misconduct

Lieutenant Quathisha Epps, an administrative officer in Maddrey's office, accused him of routinely demanding sex and other favors. Epps' lawyer plans to file a notice of claim with the city. Maddrey's attorney denies the allegations.

Federal Investigation Launched

The Department of Justice and the Southern District of New York are investigating the claims, focusing on substantial overtime payments to Epps and the sexual harassment allegations.

Overtime Abuse Scrutiny

The investigation also includes scrutiny of potential overtime abuse, with Epps reportedly earning over $400,000 last year. This comes after a separate report detailed an investigation into Maddrey's role in voiding an arrest of a retired officer who had previously worked for him.

NYPD Leadership Shakeup

Chief of Patrol John Chell has replaced Maddrey. Commissioner Jessica Tisch stated the NYPD takes all allegations of sexual misconduct seriously and will conduct a thorough investigation. She also announced that Chief of Transportation Philip Rivera will take over as Chief of Patrol.

Mayor Adams Responds

Mayor Eric Adams called the allegations "extremely concerning and alarming" and expressed confidence in Commissioner Tisch's internal review.

Maddrey's Career and Future

Maddrey, a 20-year veteran of the NYPD, served two years as chief of department, working under four different police commissioners. His lawyer stated Maddrey planned to retire soon to pursue private practice.
