NYPD highest paying officer made $400k as that lieutenant raked in $200K in OT and she wants suspension revoked after Jeffrey Maddrey sexual abuse allegations
An NYPD lieutenant who raked in north of $200,000 in overtime last year is demanding her “unjust” suspension be lifted — days after coming forward with bombshell allegations that she was sexually abused by former Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey.
Quathisha Epps, 51, faced “quid pro quo sexual harassment” while working for Maddrey, her lawyer alleged in a Tuesday letter to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch calling for the lieutenant’s reinstatement.
Epps, the department’s highest-paid employee last year, was suspended last week amid an Internal Affairs probe into her eye-popping overtime haul from an administrative role in Maddrey’s office.
With roughly $204,000 in overtime last year and her $164,477 base salary, Epps took home more than $400,000 — well more than her then-boss, Maddrey, who made about $292,000 in 2023, records show.
Investigators are looking into allegations Epps fudged her hours and approved the time slips herself, in addition to complaints that she either arrived at work late, left early or didn’t show up at all, sources previously told The Post.
