A city police officer says that the department failed to give her proper break time to pump breast milk while nursing, pressured her when she took the legally protected breaks, and ultimately transferred her out of her precinct in September in retaliation for expressing breast milk on the job.

Simone Teagle has filed a notice of claim that says she will sue the city, Mayor Bill de Blasio and other officials for $5 million. The lawsuit, expected to be lodged in the next 60 days, will place the New York Police Department on the growing list of the nation’s workplaces sued for failing to protect and accommodate breast-feeding mothers, Teagle’s lawyer said.
