NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – Jeffrey Maddrey—who resigned as the NYPD’s highest-ranking uniformed officer amid sexual misconduct allegations—had his Queens home raided by law enforcement Thursday morning amid an apparent investigation by federal authorities.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a statement that Maddrey had been suspended from the department as authorities searched his home and other locations.
“At my direction, the Internal Affairs Bureau of the New York City Police Department is working with law enforcement authorities to investigate allegations against former Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey,” Tisch said.
“Maddrey was suspended from the Department this morning, as law enforcement agents executed search warrants at several locations, including his residence,” the commissioner said.
While the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office has said it was investigating the allegations against Maddrey, Tisch directed questions to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, suggesting there’s a federal component to the investigation. SDNY hasn’t commented.
