NEW YORK, June 12 (Reuters) - New York City Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell, the first woman to lead the nation's largest police department, on Monday said she is resigning after serving 18 months in the post. Mayor Eric Adams, himself a former New York police captain, appointed Sewell as the city's 45th police commissioner when he took office in January 2022. Raised in the New York borough of Queens, Sewell succeeded Dermot Shea, who was appointed the city's top cop in 2019 by then-Mayor Bill de Blasio. Adams credited Sewell with playing "a leading role in this administration's tireless work to make New York City safer." Neither Sewell nor the mayor made clear the effective date of her resignation or made mention of a replacement.

REUTERS/Jeenah MoonFeb 6 (Reuters) - New York Mayor Eric Adams said on Monday that he was lifting a controversial COVID-19 vaccine mandate for municipal workers and the city's Department of Education employees. Adams noted that since more than 96% of the city's workers have taken the COVID vaccine "this is the right moment for this decision." The decision comes four months after New York ended a COVID vaccine mandate for private employers, and 10 months after the mayor lifted vaccine requirements for professional athletes and performers. The union representing New York City's 36,000 police officers, which has fought against the mandate in court, welcomed the mayor's decision, but said the "job is only half done."
