FDNY PROMOTIONS

I was intrigued to see the promotion of Battalion Chief Guerra to 1st Deputy Commissioner . Is this a normal practice for a serving officer to be promoted to such a senior position in the FDNY.

I agree with you 100%, Mark and I were mutual partners in 112. He is one of the best and brightest. I wish him all the best.

Did he have to submit his retirement papers first before accepting the position, or is it similar to taking a leave of absence without pay? And when the change of administration comes about, and a new commissioner picks his staff, I'm sure he can't revert back to his civil service position

Bill Feehan was an Officer & became 1st Deputy & even filling in as Commissioner.

The DepCom of the press office went from FF to his current position.

Guerra spent many years as Nigro's XO, so he is familiar with how HQ works.
