A commemorative “challenge coin” was made to mark rookie NYPD officer Vera Mekuli’scaught-on-video lap dance for a married lieutenant at the 44th Precinct’s 2021 holiday party.
One side of the coin says “NYPD XXX-Mas Party 2021” and “Cumming home late” with an image of two women who look to be strippers in Santa hats. The other side says “Rookie of the Year” and “In the Line of Booty” — a ripoff of The Post’s headline about the boozy bash — with the image of a stripper. Photos of the coin were seen by The Post. It is unclear who produced it and whether it was being sold and for how much.
Such collectible coins are made to represent police precincts or divisions, depict an inside joke or mark an event such as the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. An NYPD Counterterrorism Division coin for the anniversary recently sold on eBay for $29.“Usually they’re done tastefully,” said Michael Alcazar, a retired NYPD detective who is now an adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
Alcazar added that the lap dance coin was “undermining the hard work of female police officers. It’s pretty horrible. You’ve got your first female commissioner and this whole thing is happening under her administration.”Mekuli was suspended in May for making a fuss over a relative’s arrest.
