A Bronx grand jury is scheduled to vote tomorrow to determine the fate of more than a dozen officers facing indictments in the NYPD ticket fixing scandal, law enforcement sources told The Post.
The indictments — looming over the heads of as many as 17 jittery cops — are the culmination of an exhausting three-year investigation that began with Internal Affairs looking into 40th Precinct Officer Jose Ramos and his alleged ties to drug dealers, the sources said.
Investigators caught Ramos on a wiretap talking about fixing a ticket, leading to a mushrooming probe that uncovered shady police practices.
IAB bugged union officials, who were caught discussing fixing tickets for friends and family members.
The officers allegedly took cash, liquor and other gifts, including tickets to sports events and possible meals at expensive restaurants.
In one case, a Yankees executive saw his ticket vanish.
Criminal charges against the cops may include obstruction, bribery and lining their pockets with proceeds from drug sales.
Dozens of cops have already been disciplined by the department for a variety of ticket-related matters.
The penalties have included docking their vacation days, stripping them of their guns and putting them on modified duty.
The on-going probe has pushed one officer to the limit.
Last week, Robert McGee, a 30-year department veteran, tried to electrocute himself on the third rail.
