Add The New York Post on GoogleA top civilian official in the NYPD’s Community Affairs Bureau, who was previously accused of sexually harassing coworkers, is out of a job after he was wrapped up in other alleged misdeeds, cops and a source said Thursday.
Brian Adams, a director in the bureau, was fired after a probe found he submitted hundreds of unworked hours for pay, misused a department vehicle and lied to investigators about a number of things, a source familiar with his department status told The Post.
He was accused of sexually harassing two women several years ago, but those allegations are not connected to his dismissal, according to the source.
Adams did not return a voicemail seeking comment, but a representative speaking on his behalf, Rev. Kevin McCall, said Adams denied the claims brought by the department that cut his career short.
“He was very shaken up that this action transpired,” McCall, a civil rights leader, said of the termination.

A NYPD spokesperson would only say Thursday that Adams was no longer with the police force.
The ousted employee initially faced complaints from two women, filed with the department’s Equal Employment Opportunity Division for alleged unsavory behavior inside One Police Plaza dating back to 2022, The Post previously reported.
One of the alleged victims, Lattina Brown, claimed in a lawsuit filed in 2024 that Adams came to her desk and displayed an “erect penis through his pants.”
The alleged victim also claimed he asked her if she was married and if she was horny while the two were in a car together for work.
Brown was fired as her probation period expired – though the lawsuit claimed it was an unjust termination.
Adams declined comment at the time, but a police source said he denied the allegations and that Brown complained “after she knew she was getting fired.”
Court papers show the legal action was voluntarily dismissed last month following several settlement conferences. A court document dated Jan. 21, 2025, indicated the city and Brown had reached a settlement.
The second woman withdrew her Equal Employment Opportunity Division complaint for unknown reasons, a source previously told The Post.
It’s unclear what the resolution was in connection to the sexual harassment claims within the department, but Adams was never suspended before his ouster, the source said.
McCall said Adams was not disciplined in connection with the alleged sexual harassment.
The reverend argued that losing Adams would leave a hole inside the department and a rally in support of him was scheduled for 3 p.m. outside the NYPD Community Center in Brooklyn.
“Brian Adams has always answered the calls and been available to the community anytime of the night, anytime of the day,” McCall said, adding he stepped up during tense times between police and the city.
“The community is going to speak up about his character,” McCall said.

Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband (above, right, in 2010) is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts
But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
