Brooklyn applauds appointment of NYC’s first police inspector
New York City appears to be on the road to reforming significant functions of the New York City Police Department — Commissioner of the New York City Department of Investigation Mark G. Peters has appointed the NYC’s first-ever police inspector.
Philip K. Eure will head the Office of Inspector General for the NYPD, an office created by the Community Safety Act (CSA), enacted by the City Council over former Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s veto.
“The City Council fought hard for the creation of the Inspector General, and we look forward to working with Philip Eure, the Department of Investigations and the NYPD to help make New York City a safer place while also respecting civil liberties,” Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito said in a released statement.
