Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch axed the hardbody cop who was once suspended from the NYPD for interfering with a probe into her alleged drug dealer boyfriend, the New York Post has learned.
Tisch dismissed Alisa Bajraktarevic — who has an active lawsuit against the department over a topless photo of her that circulated among cops — on May 2.
Bajraktarevic, 34, of Yonkers, worked in the Robbery Squad and was suspended for 30 days after a 2023 incident in which she tried to stop cops from searching the car of her alleged drug dealer partner in the Bronx, The Post reported.
Cops who made the stop surrounded her car, prompting protests from both Bajraktarevic and her then-boyfriend Kelvin Hernandez.
Hernandez, 33, was charged with resisting arrest and has his own ongoing lawsuit against the department.
She insisted to cops at the time that he wasn’t selling drugs.
A police source at the time said he was under investigation for drugs.
“Narcotics had been watching him,” the source said. “They didn’t know who she was until she stepped up and said who she was.”
Bajraktarevic sued the NYPD last year in Manhattan Supreme Court claiming her career was derailed after an officer she briefly dated shared a topless photo of her with other members of the department in a group chat.
Bajraktarevic sent the snap to Lt. Mark Rivera, whom she dated for a few months that year, she said in her lawsuit. Rivera allegedly shared the photo in a group text with other cops, and it spread like wildfire, she alleges.
Many of her own posts on Instagram and Reddit show the officer in other suggestive photos, including one of her lying on her belly in the sun wearing a thong bikini under the sun in Cancun, Mexico.
Another post shows her standing on a treadmill at Xtreme Fitness in Mount Vernon. A third shows her shooting a picture with her phone of her backside, captioned, “Thick police officer.”
Bajraktarevic, who was with the NYPD for 12 years, is seeking unspecified damages from the city, Rivera, and another supervisor she claims sexually harassed her in 2022.
Her dismissal was “retaliatory,” said Bajraktarevic’s lawyer, John Scola.
“There is no doubt that our client’s internal complaints of sexual harassment, the unlawful dissemination of a naked photograph of her, and her lawsuit against the NYPD were the true motivating factors behind her termination,” Scola said. “We are confident that once this matter is adjudicated …. the retaliatory nature of her discharge will be fully exposed.”
The NYPD confirmed Bajraktarevic was fired but declined further comment.
