In a dramatic overhaul of the New York City Police Department, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch has ousted numerous high-ranking officials, beginning with the Internal Affairs Bureau. This action comes just one week after a scandal involving allegations of a top NYPD official trading overtime for sexual favors was exposed by The New York Post.
The purge started with the immediate removal of Chief of Internal Affairs Miguel Iglesias, who was dismissed on the same day the allegations against Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey were published. Following this, Deputy Chief Chris Morello was also removed from his position within the Internal Affairs Bureau.
The extent of the purge was revealed in documents obtained by The Post, showing a significant shakeup within the department’s command structure. Inspector Joseph Profeta, previously head of IAB’s Group 1, was among those reassigned, moving to Patrol Borough Brooklyn North.
The reasons cited for these drastic measures include a “lack of oversight” by the Internal Affairs Bureau, according to sources within the department. This lack of supervision allegedly allowed for the scandal involving overtime to escalate.
A high-ranking source commented on the changes, saying, “Tisch means business. She’s cleaning up the mess and putting the department back on track.” This statement underscores the commissioner’s intent to restore integrity and efficiency within the NYPD following the recent scandal.
The scandal in question involves accusations against Maddrey, the highest-ranking uniformed officer in the NYPD, who was accused by Lt. Quathisha Epps of engaging in sexual activities in his office in exchange for overtime. Epps claimed that these encounters happened between eight and ten times, leading to her earning over $400,000 in 2024 from overtime alone.
This overhaul within the NYPD has been described as “shocking” due to the sudden and extensive nature of the removals. It signals a significant shift in the department’s leadership and oversight, aiming to address and rectify the issues highlighted by the recent scandal.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
