Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson orders detectives on his security detail to pick up his meals and dry cleaning and do other menial chores — and if they refuse, they’re assigned to dead-end cases, current and former law-enforcement sources charge.
Thompson has already reassigned 15 members from the detail, which consists mostly of DA Squad investigators — a team of highly skilled detectives, many former NYPD, who would normally probe organized crime, narcotics, cold-case homicides and other vital cases, sources told The Post.

“He thinks he’s the president,” one source said. “Before he goes to any event, he has two guys scout to make sure it’s safe. Instead, they could be working on cases.”
Another source with knowledge of the office corroborated this tale.
“He’s a psychopath,” the source said. “There is no DA I know of in the state who has his own advance team.”
The detectives — whose pay starts at $41,000 and can reach the mid-$70,000 range, not counting overtime — have become high-priced, 24-hour errand boys, multiple sources told The Post.
Detectives are sometimes expected to pay for, pick up and deliver takeout food to the Thompson family.

Thompson also tasks investigators with taking out the trash at his $1.6 million Clinton Hill brownstone.

“He wanted to walk in on a red carpet, so he had one set up,” one source said. “He thinks he’s King Tut.”

In December 2013, The Post reported that Thompson ordered staff to replace the toilet seat in the DA’s private bathroom before he took the reins.
