The Fallout from Keechant Sewell's Resignation at NYPD

The resignation of New York City's first female police commissioner, Keechant Sewell, has added to the challenges facing Mayor Eric Adams' administration, which is already dealing with a range of issues including a housing crisis, budget talks, and a surge in migrant arrivals. Experts say Adams' management style lacks a clear vision and he relies too heavily on his inner circle of friends and allies, leading to an extraordinary level of turnover in key posts during his first 18 months in office. Despite the challenges, some political strategists say Adams was elected on a platform of public safety and must address issues such as crime and the budget quickly.
