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.

The NYC Dept. of Investigation is calling out top NYPD officials whose social media reflect "irresponsible and unprofessional" behavior.

According to the city's Department of Investigation, a number of postings on X (formerly known as Twitter) were not only unprofessional in tone but also "encouraged an unproductive public discourse" that violated NYPD policies on acting with courtesy and civility.

A slew of social media posts by top NYPD brass earlier this year were “unprofessional” and fomented an “unproductive public discourse,” the city’s Department of Investigation (DOI) found in a new report released Tuesday.

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

Social media posts by NYPD brass that attacked New York City elected officials and members of the media last year were “irresponsible and unprofessional” and failed to serve the public, the Department of Investigation said Tuesday.
