Cops know who real NYPD commissioner is — and it wasn’t Keechant Sewell

The NYPD’s experiment with figurehead leadership came to an abrupt, if entirely foreseeable, end Monday with the resignation of Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell.

Well, make that Ostensible Commissioner Sewell.

She may have been sitting behind former top-cop Teddy Roosevelt’s famous mahogany desk at One Police Plaza – but calling the important shots for the past 17 months has been a fellow known throughout the NYPD as Unindicted Co-Conspirator Number One.

That would be Deputy Mayor for Public Safety, and former cop, Phil Banks, a long-time Eric Adams confederate who was caught up in an extensive federal investigation of police corruption a decade ago.

Named as a co-conspirator, he resigned from the department in 2014 – but never was charged.

Now he runs One Police Plaza, no questions asked.

Doubtless it’ll take time for all the details to leak out – but there clearly was no space for a self-respecting police professional between Mayor Adams and his crony of the moment.

The plot thickens...

More of Adams' corruption slowly festering to the surface.

I’ve only heard good things about her from cops in her old agency.
She was actually trying to do the right thing, but the woke mayor kneecapped her at every turn.

Adams is proving to be more corrupt than DeBlasio.  That should mean that the next David Dinkins is only one or two Mayoral terms away.
