Former NYPD Chief Jeffrey Maddrey Faces Federal Investigation Over Sexual Misconduct Allegations

Authorities have searched Maddrey's home and suspended him following claims he coerced a subordinate into sexual favors in exchange for overtime opportunities.

Jeffrey Maddrey, the former highest-ranking uniformed officer in the NYPD, resigned in December 2024 following allegations of sexual misconduct by a subordinate.
Federal and NYPD investigators executed search warrants at Maddrey's home and other locations as part of an ongoing criminal investigation.
The accuser, Lt. Quathisha Epps, alleged Maddrey engaged in quid pro quo harassment, demanding sexual favors in exchange for approving overtime opportunities.
Maddrey, through his lawyer, has denied the allegations, describing the relationship as consensual and accusing Epps of payroll fraud.
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch has launched a broader review of NYPD leadership and overtime practices, replacing key officials in the Internal Affairs Bureau.
