Advocates argue that Jeffrey Maddrey, facing sexual assault allegations, shouldn't receive a 'Good Guy Letter' that allows retired NYPD officers to possess firearms, potentially enabling him to secure lucrative private security jobs.
Accused NYPD sex pest Jeffrey Maddrey shouldn’t be granted a so-called “ Good Guy Letter ” that will give him the police retirement perk of firearm access — a ticket to a potential gravy train in private security , advocates argued.
The police reform advocates — including a former top NYPD chief — pressed Commissioner Jessica Tisch this week to withhold the letter while the soon-to-retire Maddrey “‘Good Guy Letters,’ must only be issued to Uniformed Members of the Service who have demonstrated full service of honor, nobility and ethical leadership,” said Michael Osgood, a retired NYPD deputy chief. “Any officer who is engaged or more than likely engaged in corruption, sexual assault, sexual harassment, criminal obstruction or any other act that is contrary to honor and nobility must not be issued a ‘Good Guy Letter,’ particularly if that officer is an executive ranking officer.”NYPD cops who retire honorably are given a Good Guy Letter that exempt them from state firearm possession and carry restrictions. Retired cops often parlay their good standing with the NYPD and firearm access into well-paid work in private security and consulting. Maddrey temporarily lost his gun access after Tisch suspended him Thursday amid a federal raid on his Queens home by investigators looking into accusations heEpps was the NYPD’s top earner last year, raking in $400,000, with overtime accounting for more than half her pay.But Maddrey’s suspension can only last 30 days without pay, leaving withholding or refusing his Good Guy Letter as the last option Tisch has to make sure he can’t retire in good standing. The advocates argued doing so would hold Maddrey — who could dispute the decision — accountable for his alleged abuses and slip quietly into retirement off the hoo
