Mayor Adams names Pat Smith interim CCRB chairman

PBA President Patrick Hendry is quoted in the NY Post: “Pat Smith’s voting record demonstrates that he is one of the few CCRB board members who is willing to review cases fairly and independently. While we don’t always agree with his decisions, other CCRB board members are voting almost 100% of the time to rubber-stamp allegations against police officers. As interim chair, we hope he will steer CCRB towards the fairness required by the City Charter.”
