NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A new slate of NYPD brass was announced Friday after several retirements were confirmed among top spots in the department this week.
NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell announced the “robust leadership” appointments for 2023, confirming what sources had told 1010 WINS earlier in the day.
Among the changes: Jeffrey Maddrey will become chief of department, a role previously held by Kenneth Corey, who is retiring after more than three decades of service.
Maddrey, who was previously chief of patrol and joined the department in 1991, will be replaced by John Chell, who was his assistant chief.
“This strong team of law enforcement leaders will propel us forward in our everlasting work to keep our communities safe and never waver in our fight against crime,” Sewell said in a statement.
The new chief of housing will be Martine Materasso, who gets her third star and moves from chief of counterterrorism. The current housing chief, Kathleen M. O’Reilly, is retiring.
Michael Kemper, the commanding officer of Patrol Borough Brooklyn South, will become chief of transit, as Jason Wilcox is also retiring.
NYPD Chief Wilson Aramboles will become chief of special operations, a position currently held by Harry Wedin, who is retiring as well.
Other appointments will be made to fill the vacancies. A full list can be found here at NYC.gov.
On Thursday, Sewell called the retiring officials “dedicated public servants” who have together “devoted nearly a century-and-a-half of service to the NYPD and the people of New York City.”
