Join us tomorrow, Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 5:05 PM EST, as we delve into the recent case of NYPD Chief Richie Taylor. He pleaded guilty to Department charges related to time theft. As a consequence, Chief Taylor was ordered to repay approximately $20,000 and forfeit 60 vacation days. Despite these penalties, he was transferred and placed on dismissal probation, allowing him to retain his job and discretionary rank. We will examine whether this punishment was fair or if it was an instance of “white shirt” favoritism. Additionally, we will consider how members who were not favored by the upper echelons would have been disciplined. Lastly, we will determine if this act constituted a criminal offense.
