"In New York City, we are fortunate to be protected by the nation's
largest, best-trained and most effective police force, and with the
appointment of Philip Eure as Inspector General, we are today further
enhancing the NYPD's efforts. Independent police review is a critical
component in the constant improvement of our public safety efforts, and
will help us enhance the operations, programs and practices of the NYPD,
while also strengthening the NYPD's relationship with the community -
all vital elements in keeping us safe. Phil has decades of law
enforcement experience and is one of the nation's premier police
accountability experts, making him an excellent choice to serve as the
city's first NYPD Inspector General."
Bill de Blasio
Mayor New York City.
