Here's What to Expect from NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton

Tessa Stuart

It's official. Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio confirmed widespread rumors with an announcement Thursday morning: he will reappoint one-time top cop Bill Bratton as NYPD police commissioner.
In a statement distributed just before the announcement at the Red Hook Community Justice Center, de Blasio called Bratton "a proven crime-fighter."

Bratton, in his own statement, said, "Mayor-elect de Blasio's priorities are my priorities."

Here's what to expect from the once and future commissioner.

What's with de Blasio? Seems out of character with his campaign.
