NEW YORK — 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. She gave no reason for stepping down. The surprise departure was announced by Sewell, 51, to her colleagues in a brief letter, posted online by local television station WABC-TV, in which she praised the 'compassion, heroics and selflessness' of members of the New York Police Department (NYPD). 'You are an extraordinary collective of hard working public servants dedicated to the safety of this city,' she wrote.
