ADEEL RANA BECOMES NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSLIM-AMERICAN DEPUTY POLICE COMMANDER
Adeel Rana became the first Pakistani-American deputy inspector of the New York Police Department Wednesday.
Rana was promoted from the post of precinct commanding officer.
Last July, Rana made history becoming the first Muslim police officer to be appointed as a local precinct commander in the NYPD.
That appointment was confirmed by NYPD Chief of Patrol Fausto Pichardo.
