Chelsea cops slam scheduling ‘attack’ by captain

An NYPD captain in Chelsea is tormenting underlings in his precinct, a police union alleges in a new letter.

“You are under attack!!!!” reads an open letter to the members of the 10th Precinct that was obtained by The Post. “Captain Kevin J. Coleman is attacking you and your families.”

The Police Benevolent Association letter, signed by Manhattan South Trustee John Flynn and Manhattan South Financial Secretary Merritt Riley, accuses Coleman of changing assignments with no regard for officers’ home life.

It also alleges PBA delegates had their shifts changed after standing up for their fellow cops.

“The attacks are not physical, we know that, yet they are just as dangerous,” the letter states. “Captain Kevin J. Coleman is attacking you and your families by creating an extremely hostile work environment.”

The NYPD did not immediately respond to questions about the allegations.

The letter goes on to attack Coleman for skipping the Sept. 11 services to adjudicate a complaint against an officer who lost his father in a 9/11-related illness.

“All this comes at a time where we as a department are in the midst of a health crisis,” the letter reads, referring to a recent spate of suicides among officers. “When most are trying to find a solution [Coleman] has done nothing but create a hostile work environment.”

The Captains Endowment Association defended Coleman, saying he “conducts his command operations in a fair and equitable manner” and clarifying that the compliant he adjudicated last Wednesday “began well before 9/11 and was not intended to coincide or distract from the solemnity of this day of mourning and remembrance.”
