Up Close: Former NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Former New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly has released a memoir called "Vigilance," and it packs some harsh judgments.
Kelly blames Mayor Bill de Blasio for the current rise in killings. Murders in the city are up 8 percent since the start of the year.
Kelly has a unique perspective on crime, homelessness, the direction of New York City, and Mayor de Blasio, and he joins us this week on Up Close.
Also, New York City Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina, chancellor of the biggest school system in the country, welcomed kids back to school this week.
This as her boss, Mayor de Blasio, makes major changes in the schools, from all day universal preK to pushing for more parental involvement.
Chancellor Farina joins us with her grade for the first week.
