Bail reform laws ‘well-meaning,’ but NYPD top cop Sewell says judges need more power to hold public threats behind bars

Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell spoke candidly Wednesday regarding bail reform and her plea for judges to consider threat levels of those arrested.

While celebrating the return of the TCS Marathon in Central Park on Nov. 2, Sewell spoke with amNewYork Metro after the event on her thoughts on the controversial act, stating that while she feels the reform stemmed from good intentions, the practice itself may not be serving the public at large and that it should look at each individual in question.
