Maddrey’s resignation follows months of scandal and leadership turnover at the NYPD, the nation’s largest police department. In September, Commissioner Edward Caban resigned after federal agents searched his home as part of a wide-ranging inquiry into members of Adams’ inner circle.

Former NYPD chief Jeffrey Maddrey and his attorney held a press conference Friday for the first time since he resigned amid sexual misconduct allegations.

Former NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey had a brief, consensual relationship with a "self-professed swinger" lieutenant who is now under internal investigation for her whopping overtime, according to Maddrey's attorney.

A former top New York City police official admitted through his lawyer Friday that he had a “consensual, adult relationship” with a subordinate, but denied her claims that he demanded sex in exchange for extra pay.
