Amy Litwin, a former top lawyer for the NYPD, filed a lawsuit claiming she was terminated for investigating former Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey. Her detailed report, prepared for the Civilian Complaint Review Board, addressed Maddrey's role in voiding an arrest connected to a retired officer. Litwin's attorney stated that she faced pressure from Mayor Eric Adams' administration to alter her findings. Maddrey later resigned due to unrelated allegations of misconduct. Litwin's case joins other allegations of corruption against NYPD leadership.
Ms. Litwin - who was in charge of recommending discipline at the NYPD - had her career ripped away from her simply for doing her job. Time after time, she resisted intense pressure from Mayor Adams' inner circle to 'cheapen' or ignore penalties for Adams' clique.
And when Ms. Litwin dared to try to hold Adams' Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey responsible for his criminal activity and reported that activity to the NYPD commissioner, that was the last straw - she was terminated.
