The interim changes to NYPD leadership after the resignation of Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey have been made permanent, officials said. 

New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch tapped Chief of Patrol John Chell to serve as interim chief of department after Maddrey abruptly stepped down last month in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations.

Several members of the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau were also removed or reassigned shortly after Maddrey, including six members of his office who were reassigned.

Late Tuesday night, Tisch appointed Chell to the position permanently, along with Philip Rivera as the new chief of patrol, and Edward A. Thompson as the new chief of internal affairs.

Chell will be the NYPD’s “highest-ranking uniformed officer” who will be tasked with “overseeing the department’s crime-fighting strategies, quality of life initiatives, and operational plans,” a news release said.

Chell is a 30-year veteran at the department who most recently served as chief of patrol. Under his leadership, the NYPD saw a reduction in crime and shootings, the department said. Chell has also led the crackdown on illegal ghost cars, mopeds and smoke shops, the release said.

Chell previously served as the commanding officer of the 61st, 75th and 79th precinct, as well as detective of Borough Brooklyn North and detective of Borough Brooklyn South.

He was awarded the Medal of Valor in 2000 for his courage and leadership, the NYPD said.

Rivera is a 29-year veteran of the department who will serve as the new chief of patrol.

Rivera will be tasked with managing “nearly 15,000 uniformed officers on patrol and 3,000 civilians,” a release said.

Rivera’s most recent position was chief of transportation, overseeing road, bridge and highway safety throughout New York City, the department said.

He previously served as commanding officer of both Patrol Borough Bronx and Patrol Borough Manhattan North, as well as the 41st and 46th precincts, the release said.

The new chief of internal affairs, Edward A. Thompson, will be tasked with “integrity and rooting out corruption in all its forms,” the department said.

Thompson joined the NYPD in January 1986, and began his career on patrol in the 52nd precinct in the Bronx, the release said.

He has served as the commanding officer of IAB Zone 1, the office of the chief of internal affairs, the fugitive enforcement division, and the quality assurance section, as well as chief of enforcement for the New York City Department of Sanitation.
