Department of Investigation Commissioner Mark Peters on Friday appointed Philip Eure to become the first-ever Inspector General to oversee the New York City Police Department.
Eure served in a similar capacity in Washington, DC as the Executive Director of the Office of Police Complaints.
The City Council passed a law last year creating the Inspector General position in the wake of a judge’s ruling on the NYPD’s stop-and-frisk practices.
The law was passed over Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s veto and vocal opposition from police unions.
Mayor Bill de Blasio supported the law and made changing stop-and-frisk a central issue of his campaign.
