FILE - NYPD Chief Jeffrey Maddrey attends a news conference outside New York City Police Department 40th Precinct, July 17, 2023, in New York.
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.""This should have been done a long time ago," attorney Eric Sanders said by phone Saturday. "This has been years in the making, this kind of behavior. This is not a shock for anyone who understands how things work in this department.
Epps was the department's top earner in fiscal year 2024, earning more than $400,000, according to local media reports — more than half of it in overtime pay. Maddrey's attorney, Lambros Lambrou, also didn't respond to a request for comment on the various allegations. However, in a statement to the New York Post, he dismissed Epps' claims as "completely meritless."
