Adams, himself a former police captain in New York, will introduce Keechant Sewell at a press conference in Queens on Wednesday. “Keechant Sewell is a proven crime fighter with the experience and emotional intelligence to provide both the security New Yorkers need and the justice they deserve,” Adams said in a statement published by the Daily News.
Sewell has been a police officer in Nassau County, a Long Island district near New York City, for 23 years. She now heads the investigative department. If Sewell – Adams won’t be mayor until January – accepts the nomination, she will become New York’s third black police commissioner.
