Police Chief Forces Female Officer TO DO THIS| DNN

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch spoke for the first time since the highest-ranking uniformed officer in the department resigned amid allegations he demanded segs from a subordinate in exchange for opportunities to earn extra pay. Tisch did not directly address the weekend's developments at a promotion ceremony Monday, but she was very clear in laying out her expectations for senior leadership. In addition to the accusations of quid pro quo sexual favors and segs harassment that led to the Friday evening retirement of Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey, Lt. Quathisha Epps alleges in a complaint a wide-ranging scheme to manipulate overtime-reporting procedures dating to the tenure of Police Commissioner Edward Caban. She says that Maddrey exploited her emotional and financial vulnerabilities and her history of childhood trauma to coerce her into performing unwanted segsual favors in exchange for overtime opportunities. Epps, who held an administrative post in Maddrey's office, said that when she finally pushed back at Maddrey's demands, he retaliated by claiming she was abusing overtime, prompting the department to launch a review.
