    The New York Times (http://nyti.ms/2aaNEiq ), which interviewed Bratton, says he also left open the possibility that he could leave even sooner.

    The 68-year-old commissioner says he’s “still young enough” to take on “additional challenges.” He also says he’s already created a line of succession.

    Bratton is in his second stint as commissioner in New York. He led the department for more than two years in the mid-1990s and began serving as Mayor Bill de Blasio’s police commissioner in January 2014.

    De Blasio spokesman Eric Phillips calls the news “very much expected” after Bratton’s 45-plus years of service. Phillips says that whenever Bratton departs, he will leave behind “an unparalleled legacy of distinction.”
