For years, Angela Meyers, a 911 operator with the New York Police Department, fielded emergency calls, then filed reports about the calls within the department.
But according to court documents, when someone called 911 after a car accident, Meyers did something else: She also passed victims’ information to an insurance fraud ring in Queens.
Meyers was one of six current and former New York Police Department employees charged in federal court Thursday with conspiracy and bribery. They are accused of being part of a citywide medical insurance fraud ring that sent thousands of car accident victims to specific health clinics, doctors and lawyers in exchange for kickbacks.
Law enforcement officials arrested 27 people in connection with the scheme — 23 of those were expected to appear in Manhattan federal court Thursday.
