Without notice, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell handed in her resignation to Mayor Eric Adams last week. The sudden departure of the first woman commissioner was a shock to those even close to her. What led to that decision? Did the mayor, a former member of the NYPD himself, curb too much of her power? Were there internal politics that tipped the scales? And did Sewell leave hints leading up to her resignation? Pat Kiernan speaks with colleagues Dean Meminger and Bob Hardt about this historic appointment and resignation, and what it means for the NYPD and the mayor going forward.
