Top NYPD Uniformed Officer Resigns Under Investigation for Sexual Misconduct

HeadlineDec 23, 2024

The top uniformed police officer in New York City has resigned after coming under investigation that he repeatedly pressured female officers to have sex with him. Jeffrey Maddrey had served as chief of department since he was appointed in 2022 by his close friend, New York Mayor Eric Adams. One New York police lieutenant said Maddrey exploited her emotional and financial vulnerabilities to coerce her into sex in exchange for opportunities to make extra money by working overtime.
