Chief John Chell Demonstrates Leadership and Integrity in Support of Law Enforcement
In light of recent discussions surrounding leadership within America’s law enforcement community, a resurfaced video shared by retired NYPD Chief of Department John Chell highlights the profound impact of strong, principled leaders like Mayor Eric Adams. Chief Chell credits Mayor Adams for consistently standing behind the NYPD and defending its officers in the face of unfair criticism—a level of support he describes as unmatched during his 32-year tenure.
Chief Chell’s message underscores the importance of unwavering leadership, especially during times when law enforcement professionals often feel unsupported by elected officials in their own cities. His public reflection serves as a timely reminder of the value of leaders who champion the men and women tasked with protecting our communities.

In a testament to his own character and commitment to bridging the gap between law enforcement and the public, Chief Chell recently participated in a 90-minute interview on the Ask A Cop Podcast. Although the show does not position itself as “the big fish in the pond,” Chief Chell willingly dedicated his time to share his insights, experiences, and passion for service. His openness and accessibility reflect the type of leadership the policing profession needs more of—authentic, grounded, and community-focused.
The Ask A Cop Podcast continues its mission of creating transparent, meaningful conversations between officers and the communities they serve. Chief Chell’s appearance stands as a powerful example of collaboration and mutual respect.
