A new report from an independent police monitor has found that two high-ranking NYPD officials violated department policy by sharing “unprofessional” posts on social media. The report from the NYPD inspector general faulted the NYPD’s Chief of Department John Chell and a deputy commissioner for a slew of “irresponsible” posts that attacked civil servants and journalists.

A new inspector general's report criticizes the social media practices of some NYPD executives and called for significant policy reforms.

The Department of Investigation says social media posts by NYPD executives violated professionalism standards, encouraged “unproductive” discourse and failed to comply with citywide policies.
