The highest ranking detective at the NYPD is taking aim at his bosses as he heads out the door — blasting the way he says the department pushes out its top chiefs when new commissioners take over.
He joins Chief of Housing Kathleen O’Reilly and Chief of Transit Jason Wilcox, who were both shown the door in December also before they aged out. Essig helmed investigations into multiple high-profile cases under then-Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell before she left in June.For Essig, the job is outside of 1 Police Plaza and in the field, where he worked for 37 years.
Essig called former Police Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell was a professional and that the two had a close relationship during her time as top cop. She resigned in June, leading to“Every day I was briefing her on something and she knew what we were doing,” Essig said. “We had a great relationship.”Essig said he never planned to serve beyond 2021, when former Police Commissioner Dermott Shea’s term ended, but he and his detectives were bombarded by a surge in city crime.
