The Controversial Resignation of NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell
Outgoing NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell received a standing ovation at her first public appearance since announcing her resignation. Sewell became the first woman to lead the NYPD after being appointed by Mayor Eric Adams in January 2022. Her relationship with City Hall had soured over time, and she became fed up with the micromanaging and power struggle over the department. Her last day is expected to be June 30, and no replacement has been named yet.
