NYC: Ray Kelly Hasn’t Decided Whether He Wants to Stay On As Top Cop


Police Commissioner Ray Kelly is still contemplating whether he wants to stay on as the city’s top cop.

Kelly told DNAinfo.com New York on Wednesday he was unsure whether he’d want to serve another term as commissioner if asked by the city’s next mayor.

“I haven’t made any decision,” said Kelly, 71, who has already held the post far longer than any predecessor in the city’s history.

Kelly went on to refute a recent report that he and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn had cut a back-room deal that would keep him in the spot if she wins the race to succeed Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

“We never had that discussion,” Kelly said, dismissing the alleged secret pact.

Quinn has said publicly for months that she would like to see Kelly remain in the post, regardless of who is elected mayor.
