In terms of "civilian control of the police" I don't think NYPD ranks highly? My understanding was they deliberately torpedoes the DeBlasio mayorship because he hurt their feelings by not being racist enough for them during BLM.
And DeBlasio had options that he chose not to exercise. Adams is a former cop, his relationship with the force is totally different. And it helps that for three years he announced all kinds of initiatives but didn't actually make NYPD get back to work. A long vacation.
