Corruption

Feds widen probe into ex-NYPD aviation boss, allegations he pumped up OT for cronies: sources


The feds are looking into overtime abuse at the NYPD’s elite Aviation unit under ousted NYPD Chief Winston Faison — who allegedly approved payments for rescue training for cop cronies who had nothing to do with rescues, The Post has learned.

Lt. Lakeisha Smith, Lt. Winston Wright and Detective Tanesha Facey, Faison’s driver, made up to 20 overtime hours per month — funded by a federal maritime safety training grant administered by FEMA, police sources said. 

“They’re literally doing nothing for the training whatsoever except putting in overtime slips,” one source said.
