Email For Immediate Release U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of New York United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the New York Field Office of Homeland Security Investigations (“HSI”), Michael Alfonso, and Assistant Director in Charge of the New York Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), James C. Barnacle, Jr., announced that PAMELA DILLARD, a former supervisor in the New York City Police Department (“NYPD”), pled guilty to participating in a conspiracy to solicit and accept bribes. DILLARD admitted to providing personally identifiable information of automobile accident victims contained in a non-public NYPD database to a co-conspirator (“CC-1”) who owned and operated a call center that referred accident victims to lawyers and doctors, in exchange for bribes of money and other things of value. DILLARD pled guilty today before U.S. District Judge John G. Koeltl and is scheduled to be sentenced on July 1, 2026.“The NYPD is the gold standard of police departments,” said U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton. “There is no place in the NYPD for those who compromise the Department’s integrity for personal profit.”“Pamela Dillard shamelessly exploited her law enforcement position to profit from the personal information of vulnerable accident victims, betraying the public’s trust for her own selfish gain,” said HSI Acting Special Agent in Charge Michael Alfonso. “The defendant’s guilty plea is a direct result of her calculated abuse of her access to confidential data, choosing personal greed over the duty to protect sensitive victim information. HSI New York, together with the FBI, the NYPD and the Southern District of New York, remains steadfast in placing New Yorkers’ wellbeing above all else, and will relentlessly pursue those who forsake their sworn responsibilities and in turn endanger our communities.”“Pamela Dillard, a former NYPD civilian employee, abused her supervisory position within a highly acclaimed police department and her access to sensitive information to generate an illicit income,” said FBI Assistant Director in Charge James C. Barnacle, Jr. “While the vast majority of our local law enforcement partners are dedicated to protecting the communities they serve, the FBI will not tolerate those who choose to betray that trust at the expense of New Yorkers.” According to the allegations contained in the Information, court records, and statements made in court: From at least in or about January 2021 through at least in or about September 2023, while working as an NYPD Principal Police Communication Technician (“PCT”), DILLARD solicited and accepted bribes from CC-1 in exchange for providing CC-1 the personally identifiable information of automobile accident victims from a non-public NYPD database. In her capacity as a Principal PCT, DILLARD supervised other PCTs who dispatched police officers to the location of incidents that were called into 911 and had access to sensitive information about automobile accident victims. During this period, DILLARD accepted at least 21 bribe payments from CC-1, totaling approximately $17,300.* * *DILLARD, 48, of Brooklyn, New York, pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit federal program bribery, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.The maximum potential sentence is prescribed by Congress and provided here for informational purposes only, as the sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the judge. Mr. Clayton praised the outstanding investigative work of the FBI, HSI, and the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau, Group 25.The case is being handled by the Office’s Public Corruption Unit. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Connie L. Dang and Rebecca T. Dell are in charge of the prosecution.
