New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Eric Adams said he plans to split leadership of the police department into two roles and is conducting a national search for a chief and commissioner.
During an interview at Bloomberg headquarters on Friday, Adams said that all city department leadership jobs “are on the table,” including the possible replacements of Health Commissioner Dave Chokshi and Schools Chancellor Meisha Ross Porter. Appointments will be announced after the November election if Adams succeeds against Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, he said.
