Captain, my captain!

The de Blasio administration wants community residents to have a say in who leads their precincts — describing it in a Thursday announcement as a “team process.”

“Police and community working together … this really lends to an environment where it’s a team process,” Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said in touting the reform.

The announcement was made along with Mayor Bill de Blasio and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams.

“This is a major step forward, it’s going to be implemented right away,” the mayor said.

Few details were provided as part of the announcement.

But at a briefing later in the day, Shea said the move may not be foolproof but helps shine a light on the election of precinct commanders.

“I think it’s an incredible synergy,” he said. “I think it’s a real opportunity for transparency.”

“We’re essentially doing a lot of the same process, but we’re doing it with a light shined on it and with the community,” Shea said. 

“Finding a person is never the problem,” he said. “It’s whittling down who the right person is and that’s something different, and what I anticipate a little bit here is the human factor.”

The public’s involvement, though, will be advisory — leaving the final decision up to the NYPD.

“The police commissioner has always had the authority to appoint precinct commanders,” Chris Monahan, president of the Captains Endowment Association, said in a statement. “What information he uses to arrive at a decision is his prerogative.”
