The embattled former head of the Sergeants Benevolent Association will lose out on more than $30,000 as part of his more than two-month punishment for a trio of offensive tweets, The Post has learned.
Sgt. Ed Mullins, who retired amid a federal fraud investigation, was docked 70 vacation days for tweeting the confidential arrest report of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s daughter and posting vulgar messages directed at two city officials, police confirmed Friday.
The three tweets will cost Mullins $31,900 in lost pay, according to the NYPD.
Mullins filed for retirement from the NYPD a month ago after FBI agents raided his home and union offices over alleged misuse of the union’s finances. He has not been charged.
His last day on the force is Friday.
The former loudmouth union boss was docked 30 days by NYPD officials for tweeting an unredacted image of Chiara de Blasio’s arrest from the George Floyd protests, which contained her personal information, including her date of birth, address and driver’s license number.
He also lost 40 vacation days for a pair of sustained charges that were brought by the Civilian Complaint Review Board for two other social media posts.
In one, Mullins had tweeted that then-city Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot was a “bitch” after news broke that she had a heated exchange with then-Chief of Department Terence Monahan over masks at the beginning of the pandemic.
In the other, Mullins called then-congressional candidate and City Councilman Ritchie Torres a “first class whore” in September 2020.
“No member of the New York City Police Department, regardless of any other status, may violate the rules of the department and engage in conduct unbecoming a police officer,” Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said in a statement.
“Regardless of one’s position as a union leader, as long as they are still a police officer, they will be held to the laws, regulations, and standards of conduct required of all members of the service. Simply speaking: this behavior was unacceptable.”
CCRB Chair Fred Davie said he was “disappointed” over Shea’s move to dock Mullins just 40 days for sharing Chiara de Blasio’s arrest report, instead of firing him altogether.
“While these two cases alone were more than sufficient to warrant termination, when combined with the NYPD’s investigation into Sgt. Mullins’ release of the mayor’s child’s arrest record, it is clear that the appropriate punishment for Sgt. Mullins should have been termination from the NYPD,” Davie said.
