REPORT: NYC Police Commissioner Ray Kelly Is In Talks For 7-Figure Salary Job At JP Morgan
Kelly may take the job before mayor-elect Bill de Blasio is sworn in, the Post reports. De Blasio has been an outspoken critic of Kelly' stop-and-frisk policy. From the Post:
Kelly's potential position with JPMorgan Chase would make him responsible for security at the giant financial firm, with emphasis on cyber-security, people familiar with the ongoing talks said.
Kelly's new job could come with a seven-figure package of salary and bonuses.
The firm's senior security officer, Thomas Higgins, left about a month ago and has not been replaced.
According to the report, Kelly has a "great rapport" with CEO Jamie Dimon. And it wouldn't be Kelly's first time on Wall Street. He worked at Bear Stearns during 2000-2001 as a "managing director for corporate security."
