   NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell, the   
   first woman to hold the position, is stepping down after 18 months on   
   the job.   
      
   Sewell, who was appointed by Mayor Eric Adams, announced the resignation   
   in an email to department staff Monday afternoon.   
      
   “While my time here will come to a close, I will never step away from   
   advocacy and support for the NYPD, and I will always be a champion for   
   the people of New York City,” she wrote.   
      
   Adams, a Democrat, confirmed the move in a statement, thanking Sewell   
   for her “steadfast leadership.”   
      
   Sewell took over as commissioner when Adams, a former NYPD captain,   
   became mayor in January 2022, having pledged beforehand to name a woman   
   to the post.   
      
   During her brief tenure, she oversaw a decrease in some categories of   
   crime – including murders – while contending with several high-profile   
   crises, including the fatal shooting of two officers during her first   
   month on the job. In a statement, Patrick Lynch, the president of the   
   Police Benevolent Association, said her leadership would be “sorely   
   missed.”   
      
   Sewell shied from New York's spotlight, rarely making herself available   
   to press, even as Adams has made crime-fighting a centerpiece of his   
   administration.   
      
   She also faced speculation that she was not truly in control of the   
   department, fueled in part by Adams’ decision to appoint a former NYPD   
   chief and key ally, Phillip Banks, as a deputy mayor of public safety.   
   Banks has been holding weekly public briefings on crime, often without   
   Sewell in attendance.   
      
   NYPD commissioners often serve abbreviated tenures in one of the   
   highest-pressure, most politically challenging jobs in policing.   
   Sewell’s predecessor, Dermot Shea, was in the post for two years. His   
   predecessor, James O’Neill, lasted three. Before that, William Bratton   
   served less than three years in his second stint as commissioner, having   
   served for just over two years under Mayor Rudy Giuliani.   
      
   The notable exception is former commissioner Raymond Kelly, who served   
   for 16 months under former Mayor David Dinkins, then returned and was   
   commissioner for all 12 years that Michael Bloomberg was mayor.   
      
   Sewell started with the Nassau County Police Department as a patrol   
   officer in 1997, then became a precinct commander, head of major cases,   
   a top hostage negotiator and finally chief of detectives, where she   
   oversaw a staff of about 350 — about 1% the size of the NYPD’s unformed   
   ranks.   
      
   In his statement, Adams said Sewell deserved credit for combatting crime   
   in New York City.   
      
   "The commissioner worked nearly 24 hours a day, seven days a week for a   
   year and a half, and we are all grateful for her service. New Yorkers   
   owe her a debt of gratitude.”   
      
   The Adams’ administration has seen a series of high-profile departures   
   in recent weeks, including his top housing official, Jessica Katz, and   
   the city’s efficiency officer, Melanie La Rocca.
