The NYPD and the FBI raided the homes of several former and current high-ranking NYPD officers as part of an ongoing bribery probe, the Daily News has learned.
Those raided by a joint FBI and NYPD Internal Affairs Bureau task force include former NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey and former NYPD Deputy Commissioner Tarik Sheppard.
Investigators also raided the home of NYPD Assistant Chief Jimmy McCarthy, the head of Patrol Borough Manhattan South.
The NYPD confirmed that McCarthy has been modified and transferred as the probe into the bribery allegations continues. Assistant Chief Melissa Eger, the head of Patrol Borough Staten Island, was transferred to Manhattan to replace McCarthy, the department confirmed Wednesday.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Wednesday that the bribery investigation “is ongoing and concerns conduct by former and current members of the NYPD.”
“When I became Police Commissioner, I promised New Yorkers that under my leadership the NYPD would conduct itself with integrity and that there would be a thorough investigation of any claim that members of service failed to meet that standard,” she said in a statement Wednesday. “This investigation and our actions this morning are part of the ongoing effort to fulfill that commitment and hold the department to its highest ideals.”
This is the second time Maddrey’s home has been raided by federal investigators. In January 2025, the feds executed search warrants in his Queens home and other locations as the NYPD officially suspended him for a sex-for-overtime scandal involving Lt. Quathisha Epps.
She claimed at the time that Maddrey, the highest-ranking uniformed member of the department, had sexually harassed her and forced her to perform “unwanted sexual favors” in return for overtime pay.
