Former Manhattan district attorney Robert Morgenthau is ripping the idea of an inspector general for the city’s police department.

Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Morgenthau says police already have enough oversight, from local DAs to the U.S. Justice Department.

The inspector general would have the authority to recommend changes to NYPD policy, then send reports to the mayor, the City Council, and the police commissioner.
