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.

According to US President Joe Biden, a Russian strike on Ukraine is "still very much a possibility," and the human cost would be "immense." He added in nationally televised remarks that the US was prepared to respond severely to such a move. According to Mr. Biden, Russia has amassed 150,000 troops on Ukraine's borders. Russia has announced the withdrawal of part of its troops. It stated on Wednesday that military drills in Moscow-annexed Crimea had come to a halt. "Units of the Southern Military District are transferring to their permanent deployment places after completing tactical exercises," the defence ministry said in a statement, without specifying how many troops were departing. Military vehicles appeared to be crossing the bridge to leave Crimea in footage shown on official television. Western leaders, on the other hand, are apprehensive, with Nato stating there are no signs of a de-escalation yet. "On the contrary," said Secretary-G...

  Boris Becker has said an Alternative for Germany (AfD) MP accused of posting a "clearly racist" tweet about his son must now face "consequences". The German tennis champion said that an attempt by Jens Maier to distance himself from the post was a "trick". It comes after a tweet posted on the far-right politician's account referred to Noah Becker as "little half-negro". Noah Becker has an African-American grandfather on his mother's side. Mr Maier denies writing the tweet. The post has since been deleted from the Twitter account linked to Mr Maier, who has blamed one of his staff members. In a column written for the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, Mr Becker said the denial by Mr Maier was a common response from members of Germany's AfD party. "That's what the AfD always does; it's their trick: put something out there in the world and then distance yourself from it," he wrote. He also prai...

After industry organizations called for remaining limits and tests to be lifted, ministers are finalizing revisions to the trip Covid testing requirements. According to Star TV, the government may eliminate the requirement for people to take a test two days before coming in the UK. Airlines have claimed that passenger testing is having little real impact, despite data released last week indicating that one in every 25 individuals in England has the virus. Compulsory testing, they claim, has slowed the sector's recovery. It comes as the prime minister prepares to meet with his cabinet to persuade them to support his decision not to impose any more Covid limits in the UK. According to Star Tv, the government is considering removing the recommendation that persons who test positive on a lateral flow device should seek a confirmatory PCR test. Boris Johnson said on Tuesday that he thought the UK could "ride out" the current storm, albeit he admitted that the NHS might be temp...
