The Controversial Resignation of NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell.

NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell wrote a heartfelt farewell letter to New Yorkers, thanking them for the privilege of serving as their police commissioner and urging them to have faith in the work of the NYPD. Sewell touted the city's double-digit decreases in shootings and community efforts she launched to make New Yorkers "our most valuable partners" to keep the city safe. She abruptly announced her resignation on Monday, and sources say Mayor Eric Adams was caught off guard by the move. Sewell's relationship with City Hall had seemed to sour in recent months, with the commissioner finding herself increasingly handcuffed when trying to make key department decisions.
