The NYPD is naming its first woman to Chief of Patrol.Juanita Holmes has a deep history of leadership roles with the NYPD.
She’s already the highest ranking African American woman and now the chief of patrol.
“Equality, fairness, transparency has always been at the very heart of what I do.”
Police Commissioner Dermot Shea calls Holmes the complete package.
“She understands this city. She understands the importance of neighborhood policing. She also understands the importance of keeping people safe.”
Holmes takes over after the former Chief Of Patrol Fausto Pichardo abruptly stepped down earlier this month.
