Police Commissioner For A Day is a city-wide essay contest organized annually by the Police Athletic League. Contestants write essays about programs they would implement to improve the city, if they were the Police Commissioner. The question posed by the Police Commissioner for the 2019 contest is: “What do you see as the most critical issue in your neighborhood that you would like to address as Police Commissioner for a Day? What ideas do you have to address this critical issue?”
