She was the target of several internal affairs investigations regarding the use of force and abuse of authority.
She was cited in 2015 for infractions against another officer leading to a forfeiture of 15 vacation days. In 2019, she faced dismissal from the NYPD, but instead was stripped of 20 more vacation days.
In 2015, she was placed on dismissal probation for one year and stripped of 30 additional vacation days.
