A New York Police Department (NYPD) captain has been forced out of his job after admitting to receiving around $60,000 for over 400 more hours than he actually worked from 2019 through late 2020. After investigators uncovered his actions while he served as a detective commander in southern Brooklyn, Jackson Cheng, a 19-year veteran in the NYPD, was allowed to retire after admitting to his charges, police sources told the New York Daily News. While a department prosecutor urged the police department to fire Cheng, 45, NYPD trial judge Paul Gamble recommended instead to let the former Brooklyn police captain retire and receive his pension.
