John Chell Appointed NYPD Chief of Department as Maddrey's Home Raided in Misconduct Investigation
Jan 2, 2025, 03:18 PM
NYPD Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch has appointed John Chell as the new Chief of Department, succeeding Jeffrey Maddrey, who was suspended amid a federal investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct. Maddrey's home was raided by federal agents as part of an inquiry into claims that he demanded sexual favors in exchange for overtime pay. The investigation follows a series of misconduct allegations against Maddrey, who had been set to retire. Chell, previously the Chief of Patrol, steps into the role at a tumultuous time for the NYPD, as the department grapples with issues of corruption and misconduct among its leadership. The federal probe into Maddrey is part of a broader investigation into the administration of Mayor Eric Adams, which has seen multiple officials come under scrutiny.
