Cop charged in drunk wreck

COPS HAVE charged an off-duty NYPD cop with drunk driving more than a month after a Brooklyn crash.

Officer Terence Williams, 30, surrendered at the NYPD’s Housing Bureau headquarters in East Harlem Friday to face charges.

He lost control, hit a guardrail and flipped his 2013 Infiniti on the Belt Parkway, at 3 a.m. on Dec. 7, cops said.

Williams, a seven-year veteran, was allegedly going up to 90 mph when he wiped out. He suffered minor injuries in the wreck, authorities said.

He was immediately stripped of his gun and badge and moved from his distinguished post as the community affairs officer at Brooklyn's Police Service Area 1 as NYPD Internal Affairs launched a probe, sources said.

Investigators eventually determined he was drunk behind the wheel.

Williams was arrested in Manhattan, but is going to be arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court, law enforcement sources said.

After Williams’ bust Friday, police told the Daily News that he was collared for a new offense in East Harlem, unrelated to the December crash.

Cops said Williams was seen “driving erratically” and arrested. On Saturday, the NYPD clarified that the charges stemmed from the Brooklyn accident.

Williams was handpicked to be a neighborhood coordination officer by Deputy Inspector Neteis Gilbert, the commanding officer of Area 1, which covers 19 city housing developments in South Brooklyn.

The NYPD’s much-touted neighborhood policing program — started in December 2015 — aims to further reduce crime while improving relations between cops and the communities they serve.

Groups of officers focus solely on engaging with the neighborhood.

All cops chosen were required to undergo a “significant screening process,” Gilbert told the Red Hook Star Revue in December 2016.

“They have to show a genuine interest because it can be very demanding,” she said.

Williams is suspended without pay, according to police.
