The Turbulent Resignation of NYPD Head Keechant Sewell: Inside Sources Speak Out.

Sources reveal that a power struggle between NYPD factions and City Hall, including Mayor Eric Adams and Deputy Mayor Phillip Banks, pushed Commissioner Keechant Sewell to her "breaking point," leading to her abrupt resignation. Adams allowed a breakdown of the chain of command, leaving Sewell powerless to run the police department. Sewell was also undermined by NYPD chiefs who went around her to influence moves, and she was required to get the mayor's approval for promotions throughout the ranks.
