NYC community groups to play formal role in hiring of NYPD precinct commanders: de Blasio
Community groups will now play a formal role in the selection of NYPD precinct commanders, Mayor de Blasio announced Thursday.
Police precinct community councils will be able to interview candidates who are being considered for the posts and review their performance after they’ve been hired under the plan.
Yet the council’s feedback is only advisory, and the police commissioner will have a final say over who’s chosen.
