Ex-NYPD Chief Jeffrey Maddrey’s former driver — who made $163K in overtime last year — questioned by feds in sex-for-OT probe: sources

One of the top overtime earners in disgraced ex-NYPD Chief Jefferey Maddrey’s office is talking to federal investigators as they probe sex-for-overtime allegations uncovered by The Post, law enforcement sources said.

Ingrid Sanders, the ex-driver of the department former top uniformed cop, had her cell phone taken by the feds, who are looking at whether the NYPD was using federal funds to pay for the overtime, the sources said.

“The only thing she can be talking about is her overtime and her interactions with Maddrey,” a source familiar with the investigation said.

Sanders, who joined the department in 1993, made an eye-popping $163,414 in OT last year — and resigned days after The Post exposed her boss’s alleged tawdry conduct at police headquarters with another underling in a front-page expose on Dec. 21.

She was the seventh-highest overtime earner in the department, boosting her total salary last fiscal year to $352,462, records show.

Lt. Quathisha Epps was the top earner, pulling in $405,515, including $204,453 in OT. The 19-year veteran of the department filed an EEOC complaint claiming Maddrey exploited her “emotional and financial vulnerabilities, as well as her history of childhood trauma” to “coerce her into performing unwanted sexual favors.”

Detective Ada Reyes, another top overtime earner who also worked for Maddrey, was transferred to public housing after The Post broke the scandal.

That many OT hours sittin' on yer azz makes it flatten out. Did this guy ever get any real work done?

More here on Epps...

Seems to me like the only victims of these people are the taxpayers.

[JonPreston]

And to think the Knapp Commission was concerned about mostly Irish American cops taking a cup of coffee.

[wildcard_redneck]

THOT makes Kamala look like a nun.

[hal ogen]

These bums are sociopaths. They have zero integrity. They should be in prison...for a long time.

[OftheOhio]

$16,000 a month pension, HALF of what she was to get at 20 year retirement. $192k a year pension, must be nice. Now she gets to go tap social security. Thanks J.D. Vance for cosponsoring the bankrupt social security act. Fairness, get some...

Cop ‘dishing on OT’ to feds in Maddrey probe

SPILL $ECRETS: Ingrid Sanders (left) made $163,414 in overtime last year driving for disgraced ex-NYPD big Jeffrey Maddrey (above). Sources say she’s talking to the feds, and “the only thing” it can be about is the OT.

Detective Ada Reyes, another top overtime earner who also worked for Maddrey, was transferred to public housing after The Post broke the scandal.

She made $42,500 as a new police officer in 2019 but her pay jumped to $154,405 in 2024, including $55,923 in overtime, city records show.

Maddrey’s Queens home was raided by the feds Thursday as investigators probed Epps’ accusations. He resigned Dec. 20 after The Post reached out to him for comment about Epps’ allegations. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch suspended him several days later.

Maddrey’s lawyer Lambros Lambrou said the sex between Maddrey and Epps was consensual and denied allegations of sexfor-overtime, saying his client didn’t approve overtime slips

“Lt. Epps got caught with her hand in the cookie jar and is trying to deflect her wrongdoing by making these allegations against Chief Maddrey,” Lambrou said.

Tisch ousted dozens of NYPD brass Dec. 28 in a shocking purge, beginning with bosses at the department’s Internal Affairs Bureau, which is responsible for investigating cops accused of wrongdoing.

Everyone transferred out of the disgraced former chief’s office is expected to be brought in for interviews with the revamped IAB, another insider said.

My Comment: NYPD Chief Adams has a flawed leadership in the area of back room hook ups allegedly organized by his brother.He has not shown ethical leadership to the NYPD in relation to sexual activity or after hours partying. Curtis Sliwa has mentioned this repeatedly for years.

Quathisha Epps, NYPD’s $400K-a-year top earner ---played sex games w/ police chief to get overtime pay.

Quathisha is heading for the exit, "retiring early" w/ a $192k a year, $19,000 per month pension
financed by taxpayers, as the MO for her astronomical overtime pay is probed.

[MayflowerMadam]

“retiring early” w/ a $192k a year, $19,000 per month pension
financed by taxpayers”

And as my Sunday School teacher once said, “That ain’t riiight”.

[Liz]

ex-NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey---has a non-stop penis.

[Liz]

He had sex with her?

[Liz]

The big question is where were they having these pumped-up overtime sex games?

In police cars?
In police stations?
In Motel 6........ billed to taxpayers?

[Notthereyet]

If I understand it correctly, most of these women basically prostituted themselves in the sense they provided sex for funds.

He used them as prostitutes as in being provided sex for funds.

And now they’re trying to make each other look bad.

Yes, talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

[MayflowerMadam]

Maybe all three — plus their own homes? Nasty stuff there.

[Liz]

If they were pumping it up on taxpayers property
and time...should be extra serious charges leveled.

[OftheOhio]

192,000/12 = 16k. That extra $3k must be a sex worker supplement, lol. You can’t make this up...

[MayflowerMadam]

I guess the feds are investigating because of the sexual harassment allegations...? Otherwise, it seems to be a local or state case.

[Liz]

A bonus for a giving the chief a great BJ?

[Liz]

......probably had federal funds financing their sexcapades.....

[Vaduz]

Some gotta take what they can get paws in the tax payer till makes it easier.
