In a developing scandal surrounding the New York City Department of Probation, two former employees are speaking out against Commissioner Ana Bermúdez's predecessor, Commissioner William J. Goodwin II, as he faces increasing scrutiny for his leadership. Goodwin, who stepped down last month, is under fire for his handling of a high-profile case involving a former probation officer accused of misconduct. The two former workers, who have chosen to remain anonymous, claim that Goodwin's exits were a result of his own actions, rather than a natural part of the department's normal turnover. Their allegations come as the city's administration looks to reform the embattled agency, which has faced criticism for its handling of cases and treatment of employees.
