Keechant Sewell Has Been Sworn In As The First Female Police Commissioner In The New York City Police Department.

Keechant Sewell made history when she was sworn in as the first female commissioner of the New York Police Department, which was formed 176 years ago.

Sewell, 49, tweeted after the event at the city's police headquarters, "This oath represents my profound devotion to our beautiful city — and the individuals who are regarded as New York's Finest." "I'm honored to be here and eager to get to work!"

After 25 years as the chief of detectives for the Nassau County Police Department, Sewell was named the 45th police commissioner of the nation's largest police force.

Edward Caban, a former Harlem district commanding officer, was chosen as her second in command.

Sewell was chosen by New York's new mayor, Eric Adams, who was sworn into office in Times Square on Saturday.

As Associate Justice Sylvia O. Hinds-Radix of the state Supreme Court's appellate division swore him in, he placed one hand on a family Bible and the other on a picture of his mother Dorothy, who died in 2020.

On the campaign trail, Adams, a former police captain, spoke out against crime, policing, and racial inequality. He also stated that he would appoint a female police commissioner to his government.

He is the city's second Black mayor, following David Dinkins, who served from 1990 to 1993. He is also the city's 110th mayor.
