Mayor Bill de Blasio signed an executive order mandating diversity hiring in the NYPD Wednesday during his morning briefing.

While noticeably lacking a little of the usual, pre-pandemic spectacle of an in-person reception, the event proved impactful nonetheless in moving forward his police reform package.

“One of the areas we continue to work on is improving the relationship between police and community, deepening reforms of the NYPD, this is work that will continue to go on,” said de Blasio. “The work always continues.”
