Summary
Wednesday’s searches hit multiple New York locations tied to former Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey, Manhattan South Chief James McCarthy and former spokesman Tarik Sheppard in a widening NYPD corruption case.
The criminal investigation, led with the FBI and the U.S. attorney’s office, is examining how promotions and assignments were handled inside the department; no arrests were expected Wednesday.
McCarthy was placed on modified duty as the searches unfolded, while Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the operation reflects her pledge to investigate misconduct by current and former NYPD members.
Maddrey’s Queens home had already been searched in January 2025 in a separate overtime-abuse inquiry, underscoring how scrutiny of senior NYPD leadership has persisted.
