Commissioner of Police Doctor Richard Rosado is putting relationships at the heart of crime-fighting. At today’s COMPSTAT meeting, he emphasized the need for stronger bonds, not just within the police force, but with the communities they serve. Doctor Rosado says teamwork and collective decision-making among commanders are key to transforming how the department tackles crime. But he also acknowledged a major challenge: investigating gang-related violence, where victims and suspects often come from the same tight-knit neighborhoods, making witnesses hesitant to speak out.
Dr. Richard Rosado, Commissioner of Police
“Today we had the opportunity indeed to review our achievement discuss our challenges and find new opportunities on how we can address the growing or evolving stress of crime we have indeed seen a downward trend in major crimes and for the first six months murder is down by twenty nine percent when compared to the same period last year. First of all as a commissioner of the police my first few months have focused on establishing a vision of transparency, accountability, a stakeholder centric approach I believe my leadership style has been transformational yet inclusive racing collective input adapted decision making and engagement and I think our commanders now feel more empowered more motivate in moving the department forward to address the many challenges we face in the department.”
