Anthony P. D'Esposito (/diˌɛspəˈzitoʊ/ dee-ESS-pə-ZEE-toh; born February 22, 1982)[1] is a former American politician and retired New York City Police Department (NYPD) detective.

[16] D'Esposito was one of six Republicans to sign a bipartisan letter spearheaded by centrist House Representatives in which they pledged to respect the results of the 2024 presidential election.

The complaint stated that he was "known for flashing his gun around" and being "reckless"; internal affairs found that the allegation was partially substantiated, stripping him of 15 vacation days for "wrongfully" working as a DJ and serving alcoholic drinks "without authority or permission".

[20] D'Esposito's gun was stolen after he left it in a car in 2015; he was found guilty of "failing to safeguard" his NYPD-issued firemarm and was docked 20 vacation days.

Crockett had spent 22 days in jail, after which all charges were dropped; the city subsequently settled the lawsuit in 2023, paying him $250,000 but admitting no wrongdoing.

[20] The New York Times reported that in a possible violation of House ethics rules, shortly after winning election D'Esposito had employed his longtime fiancée's daughter as special assistant.
