Mayor Eric Adams Picks Brother As NYPD Deputy Commissioner
Posted On 24 Feb 2022
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has picked his younger brother to be a deputy commissioner for the New York Police Department, according to a report.
No formal announcement has been made, but Bernard Adams, 56, told the New York Post he will oversee government affairs at the department in that civilian role, and the newspaper obtained internal documents showing him on the NYPD roster.
Neither the mayor’s office nor the NYPD responded to requests for comment from the Washington Examiner.
Bernard Adams is listed as working as an assistant director for parking at Virginia Commonwealth University, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Like the mayor, Bernard Adams is a retired NYPD police officer. He served as a sergeant for the NYPD before retiring. A sergeant ranks lower than a captain, which was the mayor’s previous role for the NYPD.
The city has more than a dozen deputy commissioners for the NYPD, who the New York Post reports usually make around $242,000. The report notes it is unclear whether the mayor will block his brother from receiving a taxpayer-funded salary due to rules about nepotism.
In the role as deputy commissioner, Bernard Adams would serve under Keechant Sewell, 49, whom the mayor selected to serve as the commissioner of the NYPD, the Associated Press reported. She is the first woman to take the role.
News of Bernard Adam’s appointment comes hours after Philip Banks III, 58, a longtime friend of the mayor, announced in an op-ed for the New York Daily News that Eric Adams appointed him as deputy mayor of public safety.
Banks previously served as the chief of department for the NYPD from 2013-14. He resigned from his position during a federal corruption investigation but argued in his op-ed that the investigation was not the reason for his resignation.
This Mayor does exactly what they have accused a white leader of doing. Putting people of his own race into all the departments positions. Including one that was under a federal corruption investigation in 2014. When are the people in NY going to wake up. After all, he called his white colleagues crackers. Amazing how the most racist people are the ones that condemn others the most. A diverse group would accomplish much more and help heal the nation.
Same thing happens at every McDonald’s, Burger King or any other fastfood restaurant or local chain store… as soon as one black sympathizer promotes or hires a black manager, everyone from that point on that gets hired is black… then within 6 months, a once nice place to eat or shop goes so far down hill, that it forces you to go somewhere else. It a disgusting cycle.
No, I think whites should put their own people in.White people built America and blacks are taking over.Time for whites to take over and stop worrying about “diversity.” “Diversity” is not what blacks want.
Isn’t there a law against doing this very thing — oh wait — they are democraps — never mind until the repubs get enough nerve to put a halt to the democrap garbage or the NYC voters get enough sense to not vote a democrap into office!!!!!! Guess I’ll never have to worry about it. At any point — I still believe adams appointing his brother is illegal.
Democrats do whatever they want and they make you fight them on it and of course these Dems will say “racism.” They don’t recognize laws you know. They all do the same thing.Yes-diversity is so good.( sarcasm)
Corruption at its best.
Hey Ed how about the fact that he’s not working on reinstating the police here in New York City and getting the city up and running. He’s dragging his feet agreeing with this temporary Governor that we have here. and now to add insult to injury he’s hiring a relative it’s outrageous reinstate the police in New York and get the city up and running and enough is enough and if you want to know where young black people stand Scholastic aptitude test will clear all of this stuff up ☝
take the test and grade 0-100%
There’s nothing wrong with nepotism, as long as you keep it in the family !
An assistant parking director ? Does anyone else think he is overqualified
for this new position ???
Where is Frank Reagan when we need him. I thought he was the NYPD Commissioner……
There’s nothing wrong with nepotism, as long as you keep it in the family ! Does anyone else think the mayors brother is over qualified for this position ?
Would you think this would be a Conflict of interest, I do not think this is proper way to do things. I thought NYC got rid of De Blasio.
Nepotism is illegal! WTH? You can’t do that legally. This is corruption at it’s best! NY people need to wake up! What is wrong with everyone? This country is going to Hell in a hand basket fast! Someone has to put on the brakes before we all crash! We are going over the edge right now! Stop the insanity! My God!
Is there no one in NYC who is not corrupt???
Nope
I don’t think so.It’s a bad place, with bad people.
Isn’t America great? Even a corrupt cop under federal investigation can quit and become mayor of the biggest city in the U.S.
Just walk away from NYCity. Let it go to the complete cesspool it is rapidly heading to and after it rolls around it it’s own muck for a few years it m-a-y begin repair. Save your family and yourself.
Nepotism is alive and well in NYC!
it’s a tribal thing, ya know
Democrats don’t even hide their corruption anymore. They do it in broad daylight.
This is absolute proof positive how corrupt and inept any government is. How could a city, even as big as NYC, possibly need over a dozen “assistant deputies” of blah blah blah who are all paid $242,000 or more? OF COURSE those jobs are filled by family, friends, and donors.
You know what Eddie Murphy said in 48 hours
It is happening in NYC
Besides everything being black n brown we throw in nepotism to unqualified people
NYC has become a cesspool where criminals n CROOKED politicians run the show
I live on Long Island and you couldn’t pay me enough to go into the city anymore. Once the best city in the country is now a sh*thole, it truly is so sad. It’s only going to get worse with this mayor. He thinks calling himself the Biden of Manhattan is a good thing, even the democrats don’t want to be the Biden of anything. So as far as intellect is concerned the Biden of Manhattan has just proved himself to be as inept/stupid as Biden.
Gee, I thought only the Trumps were allowed to do things like that.
sounds like the mob…family favors !!!
What do you expect from another left wing black racist. Adams is just as much of a worthless pile of shit as the rest of the BLM goons.
