Former New York police commissioner Bernard Kerik, who led the NYPD during the September 11 terror attacks, died at 69. The NYPD and FBI Director Kash Patel paid tribute to Kerik, highlighting his courage and service to the city. Despite controversies surrounding his conviction and later acquittal under President Trump, Kerik remained a prominent figure in law enforcement and politics, including investigating claims of voter fraud post-2020 election. His legacy includes leadership during a pivotal moment in American history, and he is mourned by his friends and colleagues.
Today, we mourn the loss of Bernard B. Kerik, a warrior, a patriot, and one of the most courageous public servants this country has ever known.
He was a decorated police officer, Corrections commissioner and NYC police commissioner during the worst terrorist attack on American soil.
