New York City Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell resigns after 18 months
Sewell, who was appointed by Mayor Eric Adams, announced the resignation in an email to department staff Monday afternoon.
Sewell took over as commissioner when Adams, a former NYPD captain, became mayor in January 2022, having pledged beforehand to name a woman to the post. She also faced speculation that she was not truly in control of the department, fueled in part by Adams’ decision to appoint a former NYPD chief and key ally, Phillip Banks, as a deputy mayor of public safety. Banks has been holding weekly public briefings on crime, often without Sewell in attendance.
