NEW YORK — Two of the top law enforcement leadership roles in the country are now held by women.
New York Police Department Commissioner Keechant Sewell and newly appointed Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle discussed making history, their partnership, rising crime, the midterms, and the future of policing in a joint interview with ABC News.
Sewell said while she recognizes the significance of women holding these positions, it must be"normalized." Only a few weeks into the job, Cheatle already has her plate full, recently returning from London after protecting Biden while he attended Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, which she described as a"massive security undertaking."
She noted the importance of acknowledging the difference between"perception" and"reality," especially after a spate of highly publicized subway attacks, including an April mass shooting on a Manhattan-bound N train.
