The NYPD has confirmed that officers in ex-Chief Jeffrey Maddrey's office dismantled GPS tracking devices on unmarked vehicles, using them for personal purposes.
Due to the absence of automatic vehicle location devices, tracking the movements of certain officers became nearly impossible, complicating oversight and accountability within the department.
Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch has implemented a review of unmarked vehicle usage and mandated that all department vehicles must have GPS devices to ensure compliance with agency policies.
The GPS tracking devices, typically placed inside vehicles, are crucial for monitoring usage, and the recent scandal highlights a significant breach of protocol within the NYPD.
