Inspector Let Recruits Who Failed Psychological Exam Join the N.Y.P.D.
- NYPD Inspector Terrell Anderson transferred from recruit assessment on May 12 amid probe over allowing more than 70 failed psychological exam candidates to remain at the Police Academy.
- The transfer followed claims that NYPD brass pressured Anderson to retain disqualified recruits to address the department’s staffing crisis and fill depleted ranks.
- One favored recruit, Emilio Andino, who failed psych tests, was kept at the academy after intervention from retired officer Quathisha Epps, who had close ties to former Chief Jeffrey Maddrey.
- NYPD numbers declined from 40,200 officers in 2000 to 34,475 in 2025, prompting eased recruit standards in February and a target of 35,000 officers by next year.
- The case highlights internal pressure and retaliation concerns within the NYPD as Anderson’s transfer and ongoing lawsuits suggest challenges in upholding recruitment standards amid staffing shortages.
