The Civilian Complaint Review Board has substantiated misconduct by the NYPD’s top uniformed officer, Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey, over his intervention in the release of a retired cop who’d been arrested after allegedly menacing three boys with a gun.
An attorney for the teenage boys, MK Kaishian, told THE CITY their families received notice on Friday that the CCRB had substantiated a single charge of abuse of authority against Maddrey, with a recommended penalty known as Command Discipline B — which comes with a maximum loss of 10 vacation days.
