After the ceremony, CBS 2 investigative reporter Tim McNicholas asked DOC Commissioner Louis Molina for his reaction and he said he can't fix decades-old problems overnight.
"You now just took the first step in becoming one of New York City's Boldest," Dr. Robert Gonzalez, the DOC deputy commissioner of training and development, told the recruits.Mayor Eric Adams insists he's still the best person to handle the crisis at Rikers Island "What are your expectations of them? Is it maybe higher than past recruit classes, given all the challenges you're facing right now?" McNicholas asked Molina.
Molina emphasized he respects Williams and Swain, but he said violence is down on Rikers Island and the staff is showing up to work more.
