EXCLUSIVE | Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell speaks one-on-one with amNY about her first year on the job | amNewYork

'These officers and civilians, I want to make sure we include them because they are equally as important, they go out there and do everything they can to make the city safe.'

exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, but also serving as its guiding voice in a pledge to return to community policing.

With small Wonder Woman and female police officer statues looking on from her desk giving a glimpse into her personality, Sewell recalled Dec. 15, 2021, the day she made her first public appearance at QueensBridge Houses to a room overflowing with press. It wasn’t easy sailing into the position for the city’s top cop. Sewell spent her first day—New Year’s Day 2022—in a hospital visiting an officer injured in a shooting. There, she was thrown from the frying pan of media questions and judgment to the fires of city violence.

“We are trending in the right direction, which we knew. This isn’t happenstance, it’s not an accident. We had a plan. We had a strategy. We drove that strategy and we have the results that we’re seeing. And we’re going to continue to see those numbers go down.

In addition to remaining steadfast on tackling crime, Sewell spoke on the personal aspects she hopes to continue bringing to the NYPD from her time in the Nassau County Police Department: community policing. Sewell states that she hopes to further develop relationships between her officers and the public.

Since taking the helm, Sewell has also been very public in regard to her distaste for certain bail reform laws. While having called them well meaning, she also made it clear that she won’t back down from charging against repeat offenders. Still, she also brought the talking point back to the goal of having an even more connected police force between officers and city dwellers.
