The sudden, unceremonious resignation of Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell has caused a shift of seismic proportions throughout the NYPD and City Hall.
During an unrelated event at One Police Plaza on Tuesday, top police brass gave Sewell — who will remain on the job through June 30 — a standing ovation for several minutes, prompting her to beg for the uniforms to take their seats. She didn’t address her resignation during Tuesday’s event, which celebrated the participants in the Police Athletic League’s “Police Commissioner for a Day” essay contest.
“I have confidence in the commissioner today,” the mayor told reporters. “I think that as I stated, it was one of my proudest appointments … As I stated when I was campaigning, I wanted to show the expertise of how women in law enforcement can actually run the largest police department in the country.”
