Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch accepted the resignation of Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey Friday night, effective immediately, according to an emailed statement from the department Saturday.

John Chell, the department’s chief of patrol, will take over as interim chief of department and Philip Rivera will assume Chell’s duties as the head of the patrol division, the department said.

The department declined to comment on the allegations against Maddrey other than to say it “takes all allegations of sexual misconduct seriously and will thoroughly investigate this matter.”

A lawyer for his accuser, Lt. Quathisha Epps, said the move was overdue.

This Maddrey cunt sounds like a bad egg, but why the fuck is a cop making $400k a year?! I don't doubt that the sexual harassment took place, but I also think that Epps may have also been abusing overtime as accused to get to those numbers.

They're both cops, so both are probably in the wrong, but if the sexual harassment accusations are true, Maddrey truly takes the cake for being worse.

Yeah, she got investigated because thanks to her overtime she was the highest paid NYPD employee by far, and I guess she decided to try to take some people down with her.

It's one of those things where you just grab popcorn and watch the fallout.
