Bratton first served as NYPD commissioner under Mayor Rudolph Giuliani from 1994 to 1996. He has also led the Boston and Los Angeles police departments and has worked at several private security firms since 2009, when his 7-year LAPD tenure ended after expanding the department's use of stop-and-frisk tactics.

He lasted two years as head of the NYPD under Giuliani? I started work in NYC at the end of the Dinkins administration, and the difference was amazing. But two years? There must be A Story, somewhere.

Rudy felt that Bratton was too much of a publicity hound, getting too much of the credit. It was basically a clash of egos..
