The majority of NYPD’s officers are non-white. Will they elect their first Black union boss?
Only a few days after Lynch introduced him as his desired successor, Hendry began acting the part, walking directly behind the wheelchair of an injured officer as he was greeted with a hero’s ovation upon release from the hospital — a role Lynch has traditionally played.
Hendry has campaigned for the position by touring precincts and speaking to officers at their daily roll calls, according to his campaign’s social media account.
