Bill Bratton Biography

William Bill Bratton CBE is an American law enforcement officer. Effective as of January 1 2014 he served as the New York City Police Commissioner the second time he has held that position.

Bratton began his police career at Boston Police Department before becoming Police Commissioner in New York City where his zero-tolerance policy has been credited with reducing petty and violent crime. He moved to Los Angeles Police Department in 2002 reforming the police after the 1992 Los Angeles Riots and crime was reduced.
Bratton's policing style is influenced by the broken windows theory that if minor petty crime is not dealt with crime will increase. He advocates having an ethnically diverse police force representative of the population maintaining a strong relationship with the law-abiding population tackling police corruption being tough on gangs and having a strict no-tolerance of anti-social behavior.
