'I have made the decision to step down from my position,' NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell wrote... Update on Eyewitness News and here:
The Queens native oversaw a drop in index crime and she won the respect of the rank and file by trying to install fairer and more consistent discipline for officers.
As of June 11, crime was up this year by only .92%. Meanwhile, murders were down 12.5%, rape down 9.5%, transit crime down 7.9% and shootings were down 25%. Both the heads of the Police Benevolent Association and Detectives' Endowment Association lauded Sewell's impact. "In her short time with the NYPD, Commissioner Sewell made a real impact," PBA President Pat Lynch said. "She took over a police department in crisis and faced tremendous challenges from day one. She cared about the cops on the street and was always open to working with us to improve their lives and working conditions. There are still enormous challenges facing the NYPD. Her leadership will be sorely missed.
"The DEA salutes Commissioner Sewell for leading the NYPD through some of the most tragic and difficult times in the department's history," Detectives' Endowment Association President Paul DiGiacomo said. "Her love of detectives was genuine and sincere -- and her support of the union never wavered. Commissioner Sewell's historic appointment will not soon be forgotten."This is breaking news.
