Embattled NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell is stepping down from her post after just 18 months on the job, Mayor Eric Adams confirmed in a Monday statement.
The news of Sewell’s departure, first reported by the New York Post, comes just two days after the very same paper published a report citing sources saying she had little power within the department she was charged with running. It included the revelation that Sewell has had to consult City Hall every time she wished to promote detectives to higher-ranking positions or cops to the level of detective.
