Rye PD goes from J.D. to G.E.D.

For 10 years Pickup and others from the city administration wrote to the New York State Civil Service Commission that ex-commissioner Connors was irreplaceable because he had a J.D. and a background in labor management. Pickup and others also wrote for ten years or so that Falk wasn't qualified to be the police commissioner.

Pickup then goes and appoints Falk as interim commissioner who amongst other things is a self proclaiming proud high school drop out, claimed to have never even read the Rye PD and City of Rye Collective Bargaining Agreement, had already been previously removed from performing administrative duties for incompetence and had tried bribing a union official.

Pickup has zero credibility and the Rye PD has a person with a G.E.D. at the helm.
