The Interview for the 68th Precinct’s Commanding Officer Was Great
Tonight, two candidates were interviewed for the Commanding Officer for the 68th Precinct. They allowed the community to watch on Zoom. Both candidates were qualified and capable.
We were glad to see a woman interview for this position and that the female Captain was very knowledgeable about our area because she lived and worked here. She was also very confident because she had a diverse background and knew this position was a good fit for her.
Surprisingly, no elected politicians attended the meeting. One staffer of an elected attended (but that’s not the same as an elected leader being present). One current candidate for NYC Council also attended.
Also surprising, there was low attendance of residents at the meeting. Residents were allowed to vote, but the residents vote is not the deciding factor.
While the NYPD doesn’t have to do the interviews like this, it is nice to see them trying to be transparent and include the community as well.
Hugs,
