Jennifer Lackard, a deputy police commissioner with the Mount Vernon Police Department in Westchester County, drove the getaway car for her son, Chase Lackard in an apparent gangland shooting in the Bronx. Both Lackard and Lackard were arrested along with Lackard's 20-year-old son, after the young man allegedly shot at a group of rivals near the Bronx Criminal Court. The pair face multiple charges including attempted murder, attempted assault, criminal possession of a firearm, conspiracy and reckless endangerment. Lackard reportedly earned $138,219 with the police department last year. In 2024, Chase was shot by police after allegedly wielding a gun during a dispute in Clason Point.
