Sheriff Miranda clarified the nature of the probe by stating emphatically, "There was no search of my damn office. There's no search. Search is very particular..." He emphasized that the investigators were on-site due to a report he filed about unvouchered cash.
A City Hall spokesperson confirmed that "Sheriff Miranda learned of seemingly unvouchered cash held in safe boxes and self-reported the incident to his supervisors..." This highlights the cooperative stance taken by the Sheriff's office in the investigation.
The Department of Investigations corroborated attendance at the Sheriff's office, stating that they were present "after receiving a report from the Department of Finance about unvouchered cash... DOI will not be commenting further as this is an ongoing investigation."
The investigation was predicated on inquiries during a City Council oversight committee hearing where Finance Committee Chair Justin Brannan pressed Miranda about profit expectations from cannabis shop raids, linking instances of cash vouchering to NYPD procedures.
