"But two sources familiar with the matter told the Daily News on Monday that Chell is now finalizing his retirement plans. The sources said he plans to seek a disability pension that would provide him with a tax-free, lifetime benefit equal to 75% of his salary. He's applying for the disability pension because of an ankle injury he sustained on Randalls Island while on duty last year, the sources added."
"Chell was as of last fiscal year pulling in a $276,000 annual salary. Chell didn't immediately return a request for comment Monday. Spokespeople for the NYPD and Mayor Adams' office didn't immediately respond to messages, either. A source confirmed Chell is expected to go on conservative talk radio host Sid Rosenberg's morning show Wednesday to discuss his plans for the future. A prominent and at times controversial ally of Adams, Chell has long been rumored to be considering a job in right-wing media."
