A slew of social media posts by top NYPD brass earlier this year were “unprofessional” and fomented an “unproductive public discourse,” the city’s Department of Investigation (DOI) found in a new report released Tuesday.
The DOI’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG-NYPD) for the NYPD conducted the investigation and report at the request of City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams last spring. It came in response to a barrage of X (Twitter) posts by top NYPD executives, including now-Chief of Department John Chell — who was chief of patrol at the time — and Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry, along with the department’s press office.
