Civilian official in NYPDs Community Affairs Bureau ousted after alleged misdeeds: source
A top civilian official in the NYPD’s Community Affairs Bureau, who was previously accused of sexually harassing coworkers, is out of a job after he was wrapped up in other alleged misdeeds, cops and a source said Thursday.Brian Adams, a director in the bureau, was fired after a probe found he submitted hundreds of unworked hours for pay, misused a department vehicle and lied to investigators about a number of things, a source familiar with his department status told The Post.He was accused of sexually harassing two women several years ago, but those allegations are not connected to his dismissal, according to the source.Adams did not return a voicemail seeking comment, but a representative speaking on his behalf, Rev.Kevin McCall, said Adams denied the claims brought by the department that cut his career short.“He was very shaken up that this action transpired,” McCall, a civil rights leader, said of the termination.
A NYPD spokesperson would only say Thursday that Adams was no longer with the police force. The ousted employee initially faced complaints from two women, filed with the department’s Equal Employment Opportunity Division for alleged unsavory behavior inside One Police Plaza dating back to 2022, The Post previously reported.One of the alleged victims, Lattina Brown, claimed in a lawsuit filed in 2024 that Adams came to her desk and displayed an “erect penis through his pants.”The alleged victim also claimed he asked her if she was married and if she was horny while the two were in a car together for work.Brown was fired as her probation period expired – though the lawsuit claimed it was an unjust termination.Adams declined comment at the time, but a police source said he denied the allegations and that Brown complained “after she knew she was getting fired.”Court papers show the legal action was voluntarily dismissed last month following several settlement conferences.A court document dated Jan.
