NYPD Therapist Resigns Amid Allegations of Moonlighting and Time Theft
Matthew Graziano, the executive director of the NYPD's Health & Wellness Division, has resigned following an internal investigation by the NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau. The investigation revealed that Graziano was allegedly working another job while claiming to be fulfilling his duties for the NYPD. Sources indicate that Graziano was not even in the state of New York during some instances when he claimed to be working for the NYPD. The city is now seeking reimbursement for the time allegedly stolen by Graziano. It remains unclear whether Graziano will face criminal charges. The Health & Wellness Division, which Graziano led, was established in 2019 in response to a rise in police officer suicides, aiming to provide mental health resources and support to NYPD members.
