The New York City Police Commissioner is the head of the New York City Police Department and presiding member of the Board of Commissioners. The commissioner is appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the mayor. The commissioner is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the department as well as the appointment of deputies including the Chief of Department and subordinate officers. Commissioners are civilian administrators, and they and their subordinate deputies are civilians under an oath of office, not sworn members of the force. This is a separate position from the Chief of Department, who is the senior sworn uniformed member of the force. The First Deputy Commissioner is the Commissioner and department's second-in-command.[2] The office of the Police Commissioner is located at the NYPD Headquarters, One Police Plaza. Both the commissioner and first deputy commissioner outrank all uniformed officers, including the chief of department.

Governor Benjamin Odel, on Friday, February 22, 1901 signed a bill abolishing the bipartisan board of four Police Commissioners and the office of Chief of Police, substituting them for a single Commissioner to be in charge of the force . Michael Cotter Murphy, the NYPD's first Police Commissioner, would be sworn in shortly thereafter.[3]

The Commissioner's responsibilities include:

  • To ensure the effective day-to-day operation of the department
  • To appoint the board of Commissioners, the Chief of the Department and all subordinate officers
  • To ensure the safety and protection of New York City and its population
  • To ensure the department enforces city, state and federal law

[edit]

In the police procedural television show Blue Bloods, the fictional New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan is played by Tom Selleck. His father, Henry Reagan, played by Len Cariou, is a former commissioner.[1]

The historical documentary miniseries, Theodore Roosevelt, depicts the life and political career of President Theodore Roosevelt, which includes Roosevelt’s time as the New York City Police Commissioner in which he worked to rid the NYPD of corruption and the frequent abuse of power by officers.

Salary

[edit]

The public disclosure of salary as of 2020 is approximately $205,180.00 base, which is considered in line with what most large US cities pay their respective chief of police, and a bit lower than that of the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department.[117][118]
