A senior civilian employee in the NYPD’s Community Affairs Bureau, who had earlier faced accusations of sexually harassing colleagues, has been dismissed following separate allegations of misconduct, police officials and a source said Thursday.
Brian Adams, a director within the bureau, was terminated after an internal investigation concluded that he claimed pay for hundreds of hours he had not worked, improperly used a department vehicle and gave false statements to investigators on multiple matters, a source familiar with his employment status told The Post.
The source said Adams had also been accused several years ago of sexually harassing two women, though those claims were not the basis for his firing.
Adams did not respond to a voicemail requesting comment. However, Rev. Kevin McCall, speaking as a representative for Adams, said he denied the department’s allegations that led to the end of his NYPD career.
“He was very shaken up that this action transpired,” McCall, a civil rights leader, said in reference to the termination.
An NYPD spokesperson said only on Thursday that Adams was no longer employed by the department.
The former employee had previously been the subject of complaints from two women filed with the department’s Equal Employment Opportunity Division, alleging inappropriate conduct at One Police Plaza dating back to 2022, The Post previously reported.
One of the women, Lattina Brown, alleged in a 2024 lawsuit that Adams approached her desk and exposed 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.
