Lawsuit against Mayor Adams’ top aide portrays culture of sexual harassment inside NYPD

Jill Snider, a lecturer at John Jay College who retired from the NYPD in 2020, said she saw the department make significant strides in gender equality and improving its work culture for women. She said she herself worked as a driver for a male supervisor for many years and never experienced sexual harassment.

But she acknowledged that the NYPD remains a male-dominated environment.

“Do I think we are breaking barriers? Yes. Do I think we are still viewed as subservient? Sometimes,” she said.
