"Psychological Fallout: Former NYPD Head Psychologist Speaks Out Against Alleged Retaliation A shocking claim of whistleblower retaliation has emerged from the New York City Police Department, as Dr. Marc Stern, the department's former head psychologist, alleges that he was pushed out of his position for speaking out against questionable mental health practices. According to Dr. Stern, the department was misusing confidential therapy records, converting them into disciplinary files to target officers with mental health issues. This practice has raised serious concerns about the department's commitment to supporting the mental health of its officers, rather than using it as a means of punishment. But the NYPD is firing back, accusing Dr. Stern of falsifying overtime records while moonlighting as a psychotherapist, a charge he vehemently denies."
