A stunning NYPD officer who was once suspended for interfering in a traffic stop of her alleged dr*g dealer boyfriend is now taking aim at the department, claiming her career has been derailed after her topless image was repeatedly shared among fellow Finest, according to a lawsuit.
Alisa Bajraktarevic, 34, joined the department in 2012 and sent the salacious snap to Lt. Mark Rivera, whom she dated for a few months that year, she said in her Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit.
Rivera allegedly shared the photo in a group text with other cops, and it immediately spread, but Bajraktarevic said union delegates urged her not to file a complaint.
“You are not the first or last woman this has happened to or would happen to,” one allegedly told her.
The picture resurfaced in April, when Bajraktarevic was accused of interfering with cops who showed up while she was hanging out with her then-boyfriend, Kelvin Hernandez, 33, in the Bronx.
Cops at the time surrounded her car, prompting both Bajraktarevic and Hernandez to ask what was wrong.
Bajraktarevic denied her beau was selling dr*gs, while Hernandez — who was recording the officers — was charged with resisting arrest, according to his own ongoing lawsuit against the department.
Once word of the investigation spread, so too did the topless photo, which was shared in NYPD group chats and text message chains along with personal information such as her parents’ address, she said.
“You do things in confidence. It doesn’t warrant you being treated like a piece of sh-t,” Bajraktarevic told The Post.
“It’s pretty repulsive. For 12 years they decided to keep this on their phone?” she said. “It spread like wildfire.”
She was alerted to the resurfaced pic by a union delegate who told her a retired officer sent it to a group chat — and she then received nearly daily messages from colleagues who saw or heard about it, Bajraktarevic said.
“It’s bullying. I’m not the first and I’m definitely not the last but, when is it going to be enough?” she said, weeping. “Because someone is definitely going to harm themselves over it. It feels like everything was swept under the rug.”
Bajraktarevic insisted in the litigation that Hernandez is not a dr*g dealer, but she was suspended 30 days without pay and ordered to stop associating with him after an Internal Affairs probe.
But the NYPD has failed to investigate those who spread Bajraktarevic’s topless image without her consent, an act which is now against the law.
The “illegal invasion of privacy” highlights the NYPD’s “disregard for the treatment of its women officers,” said her attorney, John Scola.
Bajraktarevic, who is seeking unspecified damages from the city, Rivera, and another supervisor she claims s*xually harassed her in 2022, said she always wanted to be a police officer — and wants her colleagues to understand the impact of their actions.
“The part that nobody talks about is how we bully each other — it’s disgusting,” she said.
The city Law Department said it would review the lawsuit. The NYPD declined to comment on the litigation but said it “does not tolerate discrimination or sexual harassment in any form and is committed to respectful work environments for our diverse workforce.”
