In a dramatic overhaul of the New York City Police Department, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch has ousted numerous high-ranking officials, beginning with the Internal Affairs Bureau. This action comes just one week after a scandal involving allegations of a top NYPD official trading overtime for sexual favors was exposed by The New York Post.
The purge started with the immediate removal of Chief of Internal Affairs Miguel Iglesias, who was dismissed on the same day the allegations against Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey were published. Following this, Deputy Chief Chris Morello was also removed from his position within the Internal Affairs Bureau.
The extent of the purge was revealed in documents obtained by The Post, showing a significant shakeup within the department’s command structure. Inspector Joseph Profeta, previously head of IAB’s Group 1, was among those reassigned, moving to Patrol Borough Brooklyn North.
The reasons cited for these drastic measures include a “lack of oversight” by the Internal Affairs Bureau, according to sources within the department. This lack of supervision allegedly allowed for the scandal involving overtime to escalate.
A high-ranking source commented on the changes, saying, “Tisch means business. She’s cleaning up the mess and putting the department back on track.” This statement underscores the commissioner’s intent to restore integrity and efficiency within the NYPD following the recent scandal.
The scandal in question involves accusations against Maddrey, the highest-ranking uniformed officer in the NYPD, who was accused by Lt. Quathisha Epps of engaging in sexual activities in his office in exchange for overtime. Epps claimed that these encounters happened between eight and ten times, leading to her earning over $400,000 in 2024 from overtime alone.
This overhaul within the NYPD has been described as “shocking” due to the sudden and extensive nature of the removals. It signals a significant shift in the department’s leadership and oversight, aiming to address and rectify the issues highlighted by the recent scandal.
