NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton pocketed at least $48,000 last year from a company with a $3 million contract to help cops detect gunfire in high-crime areas of Brooklyn and The Bronx, according to official city records made public Thursday.
Bratton received the money for unspecified “services rendered” to ShotSpotter Inc., which markets computerized audio technology that’s currently being tested through a two-year pilot program announced in March.
Bratton joined the board of directors of the firm’s privately held parent company, SST Inc., in April 2013, before getting tapped by Mayor de Blasio for his second stint as the Big Apple’s top cop, starting last year.
In his latest annual financial-disclosure statement to the city’s Conflicts on Interest Board, Bratton revealed that he earned between $48,000 and $59,999 from ShotSpotter in 2013, but received the compensation the following year.
The form also notes that he resigned from the ShotSpotter board in December 2013, before being sworn in as police commissioner during a private ceremony at 12:01 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2014.
Last year, his disclosure form listed a total of between $49,000 and $103,999.98 in additional income from ShotSpotter during 2013. |
