A former NYPD executive who abruptly retired amid a cloud of controversy is advising Eric Adams on the police department with his expected transition to the mayor of the Big Apple, The Post has learned.

Ex-police chief Philip Banks — who stepped down in 2014 as, it would later be revealed, the feds were eyeing him as part of a widespread bribery case that rocked the NYPD — has recently met with various members of police brass to help prep for the change of city leadership, sources said.

It was not known what was discussed in the meetings or who attended the meetings, only that he has met with some three-star chiefs.

Banks would not confirm his role in the transition when reached by phone Wednesday and referred questions to Adams’ camp.

“Mr. Banks is one of a number of policing experts who have offered their institutional knowledge of the department, including former Commissioner Bratton and other former chiefs of department,” a spokesman for Adams, Evan Thies told The Post. 

He refused to comment on Banks’ involvement.

Adams, who won the Democratic primary for mayor earlier this year, is the heavy favorite to take the rein in New York City come 2022.

Banks, once a rising star in the department, suddenly retired in 2014.

Banks seems like a suitable name for this money grabber.

The mentally ill and criminally insane politicians who destroyed New York City, New York State and the nation-at-large will not stop until they obliterate ALL, themselves included. Karma is waiting just around the corner, and when it hits, it will be worse than nuclear proliferation - and, a hundred trillion times more lethal. Get ready to hunker down and battle for your lives until the bitter end, when all hell is waiting to break loose. I've never seen my once proud and strong metropolis cave to the endless corruption, graft and voracious greed of a politically criminal enterprise and CRIME WAVE that now includes the media bought free press that is no longer free. Apocalypse is upon us, 'Sheeple.' Enter this battle armed - or surrender immediately!

This could have been written at any time since the days of New Amsterdam and still be true.

It will survive us all.
