“Community policing must be responsive to what a community wants and needs. I commend Mayor de Blasio for hearing our call to bring the precinct commander selection process into the sunlight. To achieve the local oversight and accountability we seek, we will need to build upon this foundation of engagement and move toward greater civilian empowerment, and I am more confident and determined than ever to achieve that next level of public safety reform.”
