Jimmy O’Neill became New York City’s 43rd police commissioner in September 2016. On his watch, there has been a continuation of lower crime and homicide rates, a thwarting of terrorist attacks, and a renewed commitment to improve police-community relations. But there are lingering public questions about the NYPD disciplinary system, and inadequate allocation of resources to the sex crimes unit.
