As the new counsel for the New York City Police Department, Douglass Maynard, a former partner at Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, views his office as a front-line defender of civil liberties and constitutional rights.
“I really think our mission is a civil rights mission,” Maynard said. “Ensuring the public safety is the primary civil right. Everything else is dependent on that. I don’t see it as a conflict, but a balance of the various interests society cherishes.”
