She is all talk just like the Mayor. We the people of New York City need to get this people out of office soon as possible

[TheDAT]

She seems approachable, professional, excellent Police Commissioner.

[Mary-iomb]

She’s spot on about cooperating with the police. This is important.

[garyjsimm]

What the police need is the community on their side, like she said eyes and ears. But what they lack is the trust of the community because they are untrustworthy.

[qnZ_]

This is the problem when u have someone like this in charge

[taylorj.]

I like the NYPD police Commissioner Sewell. She is trying hard to fix the mess that Di Blasio left in NY with all the crimes. Mr. Mayor Eric Adams is doing a great job to fix the city by selecting Commissioner Sewell. Thank you, Mr. Mayor Adams. You have my vote.

those scooters need to have plates, ins & a reggie. I never see nypd stop them for anything🙄😑 they've gotten away w/way too much.

[KD_SWAGGER]

Harsher penalties need to be given out that's what needs to change.

[JuanJohn]

One year later, she haven’t done nothing she should be fired.

[bronxtours]

Basically social reform and mental health will stop homelessness

What are toxicity reports on the 'mentally ill' violent crimes show and what prescriptions are they on and why this isn't reported on the news any longer as a decade ago, ex when people were on cocaine or amphetamines?

[henrysantos]

We need to support the police department.. no matter what
The true is too many criminals out of the streets.
Please everyone keeps your eyes open.👁️🙏👁️. All the time
God bless you all.

America in chaos they want to hire black and women to top jops rather then qualified persons

[wb]

she has wonderful manners, insisting the older lady pass buy...very nice of her, that tells you alot about a person...

[mafiafamily]

She knows dam well people are calling in but it's them cops that are not doing anything about it

[ELEVOPR]

You heard her, Cameras only help in Apprehensions, which does nothing for the Victim. Makes them "NYPD" look like Heros to some, but not to me. As I would of considered them a Hero if they made it to the commission of a crime, before I was attacked or stabbed to death. Let's be honest, it's not NYPD fault as they cannot be everywhere everytime. That is Exactly why we need our Conceal Carry. Most Conceal Carry Responsible people will not draw their weapons in non life threatening situations, Most will not engage and most will never need to use their Conceal Carry. Just like most Police officers never fire their weapons during their entire career.

To say that NYC would be the wild wild west, Is a flat out lie and politicians are trying to scare other New Yorkers from defending themselves or even others.

Sure we will have Incidents where someone will use the gun illegally, Then we hold that person accountable for his or her actions. You cannot punish all of New Yorkers because someone may have abused their Right to conceal carry. That's like taking away everyone's drivers license everytime someone loses it and runs over people with their cars. We don't go chanting to stop making cars do we? How about when someone is drunk and gets behind the wheel and kills a few people while driving drunk, do we go and chant to stop making liquor and Stop making cars at take everyone's right to Drive or have liquor? No we do not, yet drunk driving and liquor itself kill more people in the united states every year than guns do. Lets stop lying to New Yorkers.


The Reason we have had so many crimes and murders and senseless life taking situations is because we are not armed like others states are. once criminals know people are armed or could be armed, they will think twice about committing senseless crimes.

In other words. If everyone "Good Citizens" Had a gun most of us won't need to use our guns.

The reason we have world peace and no one has invaded the USA is because we have Nukes and lots of guns, Do you think if we didn't Nukes or Guns we would not be invaded?

Guns don't only take lives, but also save them, that is why when you need help or are being stabbed by someone, you or your family call Men with Guns "Police".

NYC needs victims to justify their large police force, that's a fact. Once a few Criminals are shot dead by good standing citizens during the commission of a crime you will see crime drop. its is a known fact. Just Recently Brazilian Governments gave guns back to their people because crime go so out of control, now crime has dropped in brazil, because the bad guys know, everyone is starting to arm themselves and easy targets are not as easy anymore.

Wake up, No Camera or more police will make you safe, as soon as the officer turns his back, or steps off the train, anything can happen and no one is coming to save you. That's a fact.
