"This is not just a private matter; it is a theft of public services. Every minute spent engaged in unauthorized activity is a minute where a 911 call goes unanswered or a fellow officer is left without backup. Unless the department moves for immediate termination, they are sending a clear message: in the 46th Precinct, the 'public trust' is for sale, and the 'public clock' is for play."
"Unfortunately, two of our 46 ... family have been suspended without pay. This is a huge financial burden. This job is their sole livelihood and both officers have other family that depend on them which adds to the financial strain they are faced with."
Two 29-year-old NYPD officers at the 46th Precinct in the Bronx were suspended without pay on February 24 after an on-duty sexual encounter in a locker room. One officer recorded the incident, and the video was discovered by the female officer's ex-partner, who reported it to precinct supervisors. The officers earned a combined $222,500 annually. Police union delegates sent an unofficial email requesting donations for the suspended officers, citing financial hardship. A retired police officer and civil rights attorney criticized the conduct as official misconduct and theft of public services, arguing that unauthorized activities divert resources from emergency response and officer safety.
