Keechant Sewell, New York City's first woman police commissioner, said she will bring a fresh perspective to the job. She leads a department grappling with a recent rise in violent crime and continued fallout from a reckoning on police misconduct.
said the longtime Long Island police official was “calm, collected, confident” and had the “emotional intelligence needed to lead at this challenging and hopeful time in our city.”
On Thursday, she and Adams were together again, joining Gov. Kathy Hochul to discuss putting more police in the subways. Adams, a former police captain, has given outsize attention to his old department in his first week on the job, accompanying Sewell to events and addressing officers one morning at roll call.
“First and foremost, I want the city to be safer,” Sewell said. “I want there to be a better quality of life. I want the police department to collaborate with the community, because they’re part of the community.” As Sewell was being briefed on the gang takedown Monday, a work crew mounted her portrait next to her predecessors on a wall just at police headquarters. A woman walking by remarked that the addition was “a long time coming.”
