Can the mayor make the police reveal things? Is the mayor elected by the population?

The mayor is elected but in practice the NYPD operates with an absurd amount of autonomy

The elected mayor can, if they want to. Or at least they can start a fight.

The police union, however, is a very organized labor union, and the current mayor was brought to heel even though he was elected on the most anti-police platform of his first election.
