New York City Mayor Eric Adams today announced three appointments to the Commission to Combat Police Corruption (CCPC).
The CCPC serves as an independent commission to monitor the anti-corruption activities of the New York City Police Department (NYPD). Among the new appointees to the commission is Jabbar Collins, who spent 16 years in prison after being wrongfully convicted of murder and is now an accomplished civil rights attorney. Mayor Adams additionally announced the appointment of Benjamin Rosenberg and Randall Jackson. These appointments underscore Mayor Adams’ continued commitment to promoting safety and justice for all New Yorkers.
“I wore a blue uniform and a bulletproof vest for 22 years to protect the people of this city, and I have also dedicated my life to fighting for more just and equitable policing practices,” said Mayor Adams. “These appointees are committed to ensuring all members of the NYPD, and the institution itself, are held to the highest to the highest ethical standards, and we thank them for answering the call to service.”
“As an independent commission, the CCPC has a vital role to play in ensuring the NYPD’s continuing compliance with anti-corruption measures,” said Chief Counsel to City Hall Brendan McGuire.“These appointees represent a broad spectrum of experience and viewpoints, and we are looking forward to the combined talent and expertise they will bring to this body.”
“Corruption in any form undermines the integrity of our entire justice system,” said Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Philip Banks III. “These new members bring a fresh perspective to the commission to determine how we not only root out corruption but prevent it. I thank these new appointees for their dedication to ensuring accountability in the NYPD and safeguarding the core principles of law enforcement.”
