NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams on Friday named his younger brother as a deputy NYPD commissioner, police sources said — a move that immediately raised conflict-of-interest questions.

Bernard Adams was assigned to the office of new Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell, sources said. The post — which comes with a yearly salary of around $240,000, according to SeeThroughNY.net — is believed to be temporary. Sources expect Bernard Adams to be transferred elsewhere once other high-level personnel moves are finalized....

...The appointment by Adams, who won office on a tough-on-crime platform, raised eyebrows among government watchdogs....

Nepotism seems to be the way of his people.

I think we’re going to find that Adams is one of the most corrupt mayors in NYC history when this is over.

I might have done the same thing, except I don’t trust my brother.

The St Paul, Minnesota major hired many of his friends at 6 figure jobs while blocking July 4th celebrations saying it cost too much.

"I think we’re going to find that Adams is one of the most corrupt mayors in NYC history when this is over."

The other day when it was reported he called the cops about a fight he observed near the subway station, he told the reporters he thought the officers that showed up, should have been more thorough in speaking to the participants. That may have been true, but the fact that he came out and said that in public, to the press, instead of dealing with it behind the scenes, tells me just what kind of NYPD Captain he was. I wouldn't have wanted to work with him. I was a Sergeant in NY State Corrections. Retired after 25 years in 2003. If you had a problem with something an officer, or a supervisor did, there was a chain of command to resolve those problems. Adams just blurted it out to the press when he should have spoken to their Sergeant, or get the supervising Lieutenant to have the Sergeant check into it. This guy sounds like an arrogant prick.

"Banks was never charged and went on to form a private security company, CitySafe Partnership LLC."

Where he can do more money laundering. And these people have the nerve to investigate Donald Trump over nothing?? They're all a bunch of criminals.

NYC can’t find a Mayor worth a damn anymore. They could probably pick a random homeless person better suited for the job.

Mark Simone,an excellent NYC talk show host,insists that Adams cannot be any worse than Mayor Wilhelm. We'll have to wait and see on that.
