The long-time NYPD official resigned suddenly and was replaced by another familiar face among the top brass.
The New York City Police Department has confirmed a shake-up at the top of the department following a Friday night departure of its highest-ranking uniformed officer.
Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey resigned suddenly and was replaced Chief of Patrol John Chell, Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed in a statement. Chell was named interim chief of department. In Chell's place, Tisch announced that Chief of Transportation Philip Rivera will assume the chief of patrol post.“The NYPD works tirelessly to protect New Yorkers, and these roles are critical to keeping our communities safe,” Tisch said. “The interim Chiefs of Department and Patrol will continue to lead the efforts to reduce crime and disorder and build public trust.
A request for comment from Maddrey's representatives was not immediately returned on Saturday morning.
