Two high-ranking NYPD officers have been busted for allegedly submitting fake COVID-19 vaccination cards — and “numerous” others are being probed in what could be a widespread department scam, The Post has learned.

Lieutenant Joseph Marsella and Captain Desmond Morales were placed on modified duty Tuesday for allegedly trying to evade the citywide vaccine mandate by submitting the bogus paperwork into the department’s system, police sources said.

“There’s two modified right now,” a high-ranking police source said. “There’s numerous people being summonsed by the Attorney General and FBI.”

Marsella works in the 72nd Precinct and joined the department in 2008.

Morales joined the force in 2000 and works in Brooklyn. It wasn’t clear what precinct or unit he’s part of.

Both will lose their guns and shields, the sources said.

1. Pretty dumb

New York State has a fairly decent registration system for Covid-19 vaccinations.

The cops should know this. They should know how evidence works. How could they think they could scam the system?

Pretty dumb.

Can ‘em. We need good, smart cops not moronic dummies.

5. Hell, even MONTANA has a decent reporting system, because I

Have to register each vaccine I give to the database within 24 hours.


IDIOTS.

2. Police lie, even to their commanding officers

3. I'm astonished

4. Their coworkers should run them out of town for putting them and their families and their public

at risk. Disgusting.

6. Why not just fire their pathetic asses?

7. Probably police union.

They are all powerful and they are against vaccine mandate. It probably needs to get through a long investigation with tons of paperwork before they can fire them.

8. Gosh. So a strong union (and don't get me wrong, I'm a huge advocate of unions)

can enable people, meaning the police in this case, to endanger others?

I'm beyond appalled.
