The New York Police Departmet's Internal Affairs Bureau and federal investigators on Thursday raided the Queens home of former NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey, as a criminal investigation into accusations he swapped sex for overtime was launched, according to the New York Daily News.
Search warrants were also executed in “other locations” as the NYPD officially suspended Maddrey, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a statement.
On Thursday morning, federal investigators linked to the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York were seen removing cartons of papers, cardboard boxes and other items from Maddrey’s home on 147th Road in Rosedale, the paper reported.
“At my direction, the Internal Affairs Bureau of the New York City Police Department is working with law enforcement authorities to investigate allegations against former Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey,” Tisch wrote. “Maddrey was suspended from the department this morning as law enforcement agents executed search warrants at several locations, including his residence.”
Maddrey, 53, resigned and put in his retirement papers on Dec. 20, 2024 after allegations were made by NYPD Lt. Quathisha Epps, who claimed that Maddrey had sexually harassed her and forced her to perform “unwanted sexual favors” in return for overtime pay.
