De Blasio Names Bratton as New York Police Commissioner December 5, 2013 This is exciting news for policing (and police research) in NYC. 0
I suspect that NYC is the winner in this appointment. I've seen comments from the left and the right attacking Bratton today. That bodes well for him. As for Ray Kelly……….thppppt. I only wish Bratton had become police superintendent in Chicago at some point. Now that would be an experiment worth watching. 0
Two links I ran into the past few days that might amuse you. The first is a bit hagiographic, but since that word comes from the "Greek" it will continue with a theme. St Bratton parts the waters of crime: thecrimereport.org/news/inside-criminal-justice/2013-12-bratton-the-making-of-a-police-visionary nationaljournal.com/economy/a-greek-american-s-greek-identity-crisis-in-athens-20131206 0

Thanks for both those links. They're great. Take home lesson? Obviously Bill Bratton is Greek.
