Four female NYPD officers are embroiled in controversy for posing for photos with a male stripper at a party. The officers are seen in the photo with a man wearing nothing but boots and underwear with his arms around two of the women.
The photo, which was posted on social media Sunday morning, also reveals someone in a Police Academy shirt taking a close-up picture on a cellphone at the same time. The incident reportedly took place during a recent Mother’s Day party at the ARC XVI Fort Washington Senior Center in Upper Manhattan.
Sources identified two of the cops as Amber Guzman and Nathalie Lebron, both of whom work as neighborhood coordinating officers under Mayor Bill de Blasio’s “neighborhood policing” initiative.
Precinct cops traditionally attend the senior center’s annual Mother’s Day celebration. An NYPD spokeswoman said, “Our officers were not aware that the males in the photo would be present at this event.”
“The senior center participants encouraged the officers to pose for the picture,” Sgt. Jessica McRorie said.“The commanding officer is aware and will address the incident at the precinct level.”
Male NYPD officers have been disciplined for similar situations. In 2015, two male NYPD cops were photographed posing with topless “dancers in Times Square. Two other male cops were captured on video dancing with scantily clad female performers at the 2011 West Indian Day Parade in Brooklyn.
