New York’s state police superintendent resigned Friday, days after Gov. Kathy Hochul said he was being investigated for his handling of internal personnel matters.
In a statement, Hochul thanked Kevin Bruen for "his years of public service" and said that First Deputy Superintendent Steven Nigrelli will take over as acting superintendent on an interim basis.
Bruen had been in charge of the state police since June 2021. A 20-year veteran of the department, he was appointed superintendent by Hochul’s predecessor, Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

The Albany Times has reported that one of the incidents under investigation is whether Nigrelli shielded a human resources officer from complaints about how the officer handled certain personnel issues.
Hochul told the Albany Times Union’s editorial board on Tuesday that she had ordered her counsel’s office to investigate allegations against Bruen.
