In March 2018, Lieutenant Darren Brodie was accused of making inappropriate sexual advances toward Officer Jessenia Levy during a Policemen’s Benevolent Association convention in Atlantic City. Allegations included inappropriate comments and threats related to her work assignments. An internal affairs investigation sustained charges of inappropriate sexual comments and threats but did not sustain allegations of improper sexual contact due to insufficient evidence. Brodie was suspended and demoted in 2019 but was later reinstated to the rank of lieutenant with a base salary of $169,873. The city paid him $12,976.95 to withdraw his appeal of disciplinary charges.
