The Challenge: Ex-NYPD Lt. Quathisha Epps’ fees of intercourse abuse by Chief of Division Jeffrey Maddrey.
The stench coming from One Police Plaza (which appears to originate from the workplace of disgraced ex-Chief of Division Jeffrey Maddrey, who allegedly orchestrated heinous acts with underlings) really seems to embody a a lot bigger group (“Intercourse scandal at 1 Police Plaza,” Dec. 22).
Who is admittedly doing his job right here? Why wasn’t something caught when extra time and paychecks for some had been ridiculous? What instance is being set for the rank and file?

To listen to that Maddrey, together with NYPD Lt. Quathisha Epps, is entangled in a corruption scandal is disturbing information.
If these allegations are true, Maddrey is a predator and must be handled accordingly.
Epps, who’s making these allegations, allowed this disgusting conduct to proceed for over one 12 months with out reporting it, whereas allegedly accumulating over $250,000 in extra time cash.
Sorry to say it, however she seems to be simply as responsible.
Newly appointed Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch must do a clear sweep from high to backside and restore the delight of the NYPD.

The most recent humiliating scandal involving Maddrey comes as no shock.
The “family and friends” strategy Mayor Adams has adhered to in making key appointments has produced a corrupt, embarrassing and dysfunctional group of individuals.
New York Metropolis has been devoid of competent and trustworthy management for nearly 12 years and the outcomes are clear to all who reside right here.

If these NYPD allegations are true, the cash that was made throughout that point must be paid again to town. Technically, that cash was made working on the oldest recognized occupation — not police work. Maddrey and Epps must be ashamed.

Not for the reason that departure of the late Chief Joseph Esposito have the uniform officers of the NYPD had a revered chief.
We have to get again the very best individuals to steer, not political cronies.

The Challenge: A Metropolis Council invoice to check officers’ blood-alcohol content material after injury-causing weapons use.
The Metropolis Council seemingly can’t do sufficient to degrade police morale (“Forcing a non-issue for NYPD,” Dec. 21). Metropolis Councilman Yusef Salaam now proposes cops take a blood-alcohol check in the event that they trigger harm or dying after utilizing their weapon.
Salaam offered no case during which a supervisor on the scene of a police taking pictures evaded the rule.
The council’s anti-police measures serve solely to undermine the effectiveness and integrity of the NYPD.
This all comes at a time when New Yorkers worry for his or her security on subways and the streets of New York.

Image this: You’re on patrol and interrupt against the law in progress, get entangled in a gunfight, get wounded and have the misfortune of wounding the dangerous man. In lieu of being hailed a hero, the police division and Metropolis Council insist on taking your blood to see if “you’re clear.”
Nice incentive to do your job, yeah?
Previous to this mandate (I did 35 years within the police division), any doubtful conduct for any cause might set off a drug check “for trigger.” This saved hero officers the humiliation of going via the method of this new coverage.
