Chief Jeff Maddrey is facing a slap on the wrist with a ten-day-docking after the Civilian Complaint Review Board accused him of abusing his authority by voiding the arrest of Officer Krythoff Forr…
NYPD Chief of Department Jeff Maddrey wanted criminal charges brought against three teens who hit a retired cop’s security camera with a basketball — all while voiding the ex-officer’s arrest after he allegedly menaced the youths with a gun, the police’s civilian watchdog found., obtained by The Post, states that Maddrey personally ordered a Brooklyn precinct sergeant to void the arrest of retired NYPD Officer Krythoff Forrester.
Maddrey — who knew Forrester from his time as the 73 precinct commander — went to the stationhouse at around 11 p.m. that night and ordered a voiding of the retired officer’s arrest, which had been investigated and approved by a sergeant, according to the CCRB report. He then allegedly told the sergeant that the teens should have been booked for damaging the camera.
The comments stand in contrast to recent public comments from Maddrey, who just months ago touted his department’s ability to reduce “negative encounters” with the city’s young people.
