A report by the Department of Investigation (DOI) revealed that top NYPD officials engaged in unprofessional and politically charged social media activity, negatively impacting public discourse. The investigation, prompted by City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, found posts from now-Chief of Department John Chell and Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry that may have violated regulations against political participation by police personnel. DOI Commissioner Jocelyn Strauber emphasized the need for responsible social media usage among public officials to foster accurate communication and respectful dialogue, highlighting significant changes made by the NYPD in their practices since the inquiry began.
A slew of social media posts by top NYPD brass earlier this year were unprofessional and fomented an unproductive public discourse, the city's Department of Investigation (DOI) found.
DOI Commissioner Jocelyn Strauber charged that no aspect of some of the social media posts the agency reviewed served the public.
