A New York police leader tasked with protecting the city’s schoolchildren allegedly accepted bribes to help a businessman sell his “mobile panic alert system” to schools in 2023, Manhattan federal prosecutors have alleged.
Kevin Taylor, former commanding officer of the New York police department’s school safety division, “repeatedly abused his authority and considerable influence … by soliciting or demanding bribes in two bribery schemes” – allowing him to enjoy lavish travel and luxe eateries, an indictment against him alleged.
