Mayor Mamdani fires sheriff, names NYPD whistleblower to fill role | NBC New York [r9JStDa3O4Z]
New York City Mayor Mamdani fired New York City Sheriff Anthony Miranda, who was appointed by then- mayor Eric Adams in 2022. Although no reason was given, in 2024, the city’s Department of Investigation looked into the Sheriff's Office and its connection with the enforcement of illegal smoke shops and the handling of cash seized by the office. The new sheriff is Edwin Raymond, a retired NYPD lieutenant who spoke with the News 4 I-Team three years ago after becoming the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit by 12 minority officers who claimed they had been punished for not meeting quotas. #nyc #mamdani #sheriff #news #nypd
