In a speech last November, Commissioner Sewell described feeling second guessed, micromanaged, and dismissed.
Sewell's speech was met with loud applause.
Though the commissioner never explicitly stated who was second guessing or undermining her, several of her NYPD coworkers say the speech reflected some of her specific frustrations. Those frustrations, they say, included City Hall pushing out her close allies, overruling her decisions on promotions and hiring standards, a deputy mayor who felt like a shadow commissioner, and subordinates enabled to go around her to the mayor.
Mayor Eric Adams has dismissed reports that Sewell was sidelined and unempowered to lead the department.
