More female officers in disgraced top cop Jeffrey Maddrey’s orbit pulled down massive overtime and other perks, The Post has learned.
The driver for the former chief of department made an eye-popping $163,414 in OT last year — and resigned days after The Post exposed her boss’s alleged sleazy conduct at police headquarters, records show.
Detective Ingrid Sanders was the seventh-highest overtime earner in the department, boosting her total salary last fiscal year to $352,462, records show.
That put her pay not far behind Lt. Quathisha Epps, the top earner who made $403,515, including $204,453 in OT. Epps filed an explosive Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint accusing Maddrey of giving Epps overtime shifts in exchange for sex, The Post revealed in a front-page exclusive Sunday.
On the day of the Post’s inquiry, Maddrey quit. Sanders was immediately transferred from One Police Plaza to a Queens precinct, and filed for retirement on Dec. 23, The Post found in police documents.
Sanders is a first-grade detective — the top grade — who served in the chief of department’s office since December 2022. She followed Maddrey there from the Patrol Services Bureau. She didn’t return multiple messages.
Maddrey also sought favors for second detective, Ada Reyes, The Post has learned.
Epps, Maddrey’s personnel manager, told The Post that part of her OT was devoted to taking care of Reyes.
“The overtime that he would give me he would tell me to buy her things like get her some towels and things from Walmart, a microwave, and stuff like that so she doesn’t have to come out of her pocket,” Epps said. “I make the overtime and then I give things to her.

For that kind of money you would think that they would at least look like the lady cops on the TV shows.
Let call it a Bond temporary (forever tax) bond issue. They always fall for a bond issue if it’s for the kids or lost puppies.
We are being robbed at gun point by very corrupt people in government at ALL levels.

Yep, and from the top down to all levels. It all began to fall apart in 2008.
The Adams admin is rife with DEI corruption. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Drop the Scrabble tiles on the floor to name your baby.
Unrealistic. There are some jobs where somebody HAS to be there. Reform it? Sure. Monitor it? Absolutely. But getting rid of it is not practical.

Thirty percent of the dept probably DEI hires, right in the middle of New York’s Finest. Their police exam was a killer at one time; really had to be sharp to pass.
Oh, I get it. Corruption is endemic to the NYPD. But some members at least have to be doing the policing. So realistic and actually necessary OT is fine. Pension padding is not.

Of course it is practical, with the right management at every layer.
1. Certain positions, any managment/supervisory position is salaried - same salary regardless of the hours.
2. Scheduling - scheduling that expects folks will be absent legitimately from time to time so others will have to fill in. (See 5. and 6.)
3. With regard to 2 - prioritizing, triaging so the “it can wait” waits and only the “must be done now” is done now.
4. What falls out from 3 is work done some either done some other day/time, or if it must be done is done by someone else, not in overtime (see 5. and 6.)
5. Coverage - It all goes back to 2 -scheduling - instead of OT for someone, someone else already scheduled to work those hours has suddenly more important (priorities) work they will have to do instead.
6. Cross training - people are taught how and capable of filling in for each other, as the priorties of the day/time/moment dictate, so that no one has to work OT.
It’s all management and not rocket science.
Where I worked Lieutenant and above were salaried. The most they ever got for emergency OT was 1 for 1 comp time. So effectively it was a flex schedule for them. It worked quite well.
