NYPD’s $400K-a-year top earner Quathisha Epps is retiring early as astronomical overtime pay is investigated: sources

The NYPD’s highest-paid employee — who shoveled in more than $400,000 last year — filed for retirement this week amid an internal affairs probe into her astronomical overtime, The Post has learned.

Lt. Quathisha Epps will retire just shy of 20 years with the department, sources said — an early exit that will impact her pension and cost her a $12,000-a-year supplement for cops who reach the two-decade mark.

Leaving money on the table is seemingly uncharacteristic for Epps, who raised eyebrows by pulling in roughly $204,000 in overtime last year for her administrative job in NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey’s office, payroll records show.

Sources told The Post that Epps’ whopping overtime was capped after The Post’s exclusive report last month on her pay. She was also told she’d be put back on patrol — an apparently unappetizing prospect after her cushy desk job, according to the sources.

“There is no way she was going to go out on patrol,” one source told The Post.

So it was 74 hours a week. I wonder how many hours were spent with the lights on.

She had help, that much overtime had to be approved by at least two levels of management above her.
Call them on the carpet, and fire them, immediately.

Her retirement, “just short of 20 years” smacks of fear of criminal penalties.

They’re all in on it. All of them are doing it. This is not new, and she is not the only one. The NYPD and NYFD pensions are backloaded, so they pile up the overtime in their last few years to retire with huge pensions.

An administrative office job should be on salary. Overtime pay shouldn’t even be possible.

This reads like a Babylon Bee story. They have to work harder to stay ahead of reality.
