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.

The NYPD's Leadership Exodus: What's Next?

Keechant Sewell, the first female police commissioner of New York City, has resigned from her position after 18 months on the job. Experts suggest that Sewell lacked autonomy over the NYPD and was mired in city bureaucracy from her first day on the job, which likely led to her resignation. Policing experts argue that Eric Adams, the mayor, took on a dual role as commissioner and mayor, and never granted Sewell the authority to take charge over the department. The resignation is likely to have repercussions for other females on the force, with experts arguing that it will be a turnoff for any executive female in law enforcement to take this job because they'll feel stifled as well.

NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell Resigns, Leaving Behind Mixed Legacy

Keechant Sewell, the first woman to lead the NYPD, has resigned from her position as commissioner. No reason was given for her departure, but it is expected to be effective by July 1. First Deputy Commissioner Edward Caban is expected to take over on an interim basis. Sewell maintained a relatively low profile during her tenure, but was criticized for declining to prosecute more than 300 cops in 2022 after CCRB substantiated complaints against them. The NYPD has faced ongoing criticism for treatment of nonwhite New Yorkers, and a federal monitor's report filed earlier this month found that Neighborhood Safety Teams largely target Black and Latino New Yorkers.
