High-Ranking Cop's Shocking Role in Son's Gangland Escape

A high-ranking Westchester County police official drove the getaway car for her son in an apparent gangland shooting in the Bronx, police and sources said Tuesday.

Jennifer Lackard, a deputy police commissioner with the Mount Vernon Police Department, was arrested at her home Tuesday morning, along with her son, Chase Lackard, 20, after the young man allegedly shot at a group of rivals near the Bronx Criminal Court on June 29 at 11:57 p.m, police said.

He then rushed into her car before she drove off, according to sources.

Nobody was injured in the shooting, police said.

The pair were hit with attempted murder, attempted assault, criminal possession of a firearm, conspiracy and reckless endangerment charges.

The mom raked in $138,219 with the police department last year, according to SeeThroughNY.

The duo are no strangers to headlines.

In 2024, Chase, a reputed member of the “Slutty Gang,” was shot by police after he allegedly wielded a gun during a dispute in Clason Point.

The Post reported his mom was a police official with the Mount Vernon Police Department.

Only a year earlier, her troubled son, then 17, was also shot in the chest on a BX5 bus in Soundview after fighting with three other youths, cops said at the time.

Lackard allegedly flashed gang signs at the boys and then asked for their gang affiliation before allegedly trying to drag one of them off the bus.

One of them then shot him in the chest.

Police arrested the mom and son early Tuesday morning at their Soundview home after arriving with a search warrant.

They have yet to be arraigned.
