NEW YORK — A NYPD civilian supervisor illegally used her access to private police databases to supply attorneys with names of car accident victims in exchange for thousands in cash and gifts, federal officials said Friday.

Authorities said Pamela Dillard, 48, a department communication technician, made ambulance chasing easy for the lawyers she conspired with, while soliciting and accepting bribes of more than $17,000, according to court records.

“The NYPD is the gold standard of police departments,” Manhattan U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton said in a statement. “There is no place in the NYPD for those who compromise the department’s integrity for personal profit.”

For nearly three years, Dillard combed private databases, accessing records of 911 calls made during automobile accidents, officials said. Dillard also supervised other communication technicians and accessed names from their dispatches as well.

Her co-conspirator owned and operated a call center that referred accident victims to lawyers and doctors, officials said. In return for the names and contact information of accident victims, she received money and other items of value.

“Pamela Dillard, a former NYPD civilian employee, abused her supervisory position within a highly acclaimed police department and her access to sensitive information to generate an illicit income,” FBI Assistant Director in Charge James Barnacle said in a statement.

“While the vast majority of our local law enforcement partners are dedicated to protecting the communities they serve, the FBI will not tolerate those who choose to betray that trust at the expense of New Yorkers,” he said.

Dillard pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy to solicit and accept bribes. Prosecutors said

She faces a minimum of five years in prison when she’s sentenced on July 1.
