Attorney General Letitia James released the following statement in response to the resignation of NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill:
“For the past three years, Commissioner O’Neill has dedicated his life to protecting New York City and we are all grateful for his service. Under his leadership, our city reached record low major crime rates and he worked to address many of the challenges that have long-existed between the police and the communities they serve. I thank him for his 36 years of service to New York and I look forward to a productive relationship with incoming Commissioner Dermot Shea.”
