NEW YORK, NY — An off-duty New York City Police Officer was arrested early Friday morning in Queens, facing multiple charges.
Eduard Badalov, 43, was taken into custody within the 107th Precinct at 1:00 AM. He faces charges of unlawful dissemination of intimate images and assault in the third degree.
Eduard B. Badalov, a 43-year-old white male and NYPD police officer, has served at the 25th Precinct since February 2021 and has been an active member of the force since July 2007. Officer Badalov, who earned $103,000 last year, has been involved in multiple disciplinary cases and lawsuits during his career.
Badalov has been disciplined in several cases, including a 2020 case where he was found guilty of conducting personal business while on-duty, improperly using department resources, and failing to make required entries in department logs. He received a penalty of dismissal probation for 12 months and lost 25 vacation days. Another case from 2014 cited him for wrongful threats of police action, being absent from his assignment without permission, and failing to make required log entries. The penalties in this instance included dismissal probation for 12 months, suspension without pay for 30 days, and the forfeiture of 15 vacation days.
In legal disputes, Badalov was involved in a lawsuit with Cornelia Veras, which was settled for $30,000 in September 2017. This lawsuit was filed in the Supreme Court of Kings County and listed several co-defendants.
Additionally, Badalov has been the subject of complaints, including two allegations in September 2021 related to the use of nonlethal restraining devices and physical force. Both allegations were investigated and resulted in exoneration, with the conclusion that the actions were within NYPD guidelines, which grant officers significant discretion.
