Mid-Hudson News reports that Acting New York State Police Superintendent Steven Nigrelli resigned on Sept. 22 after Governor Hochul told him that he was no longer being considered for permanently taking the position. Sources claimed to Mid-Hudson News that Hochul found out that Nigrelli had previously been investigated for sexual harassment during his 32 years as a member of the New York State Police. Nigrelli became Acting Superintendent after former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s appointment, Kevin Bruen, resigned last year during an investigation into his special treatment of MaryEllen Tedesco, the former human resources director for the state police. Nigrelli on Sept. 22 sent a memo to all state troopers, saying in part, “After being informed by Gov. Kathy Hochul’s administration that I am no longer being considered for nomination to be superintendent, I immediately made the difficult decision that I have already been contemplating for the past year. While the decision to retire is not easy, primarily because I truly love being a trooper, it is my time to step aside and let the next generation lead this great agency.” Read more about this story in Mid-Hudson News.
