Norman Frank

Norman Frank

Norman Joseph Fetbrod (February 18, 1925 – 11 May 2007), better known by his professional name Norman Frank, was an American public relations executive and politician who helped the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association (PBA) defeat a civilian complaint review board proposed by New York City Mayor John V. Lindsay. Frank was chief strategist for PBA president John Cassese.

Born in Manhattan, Frank worked as a law clerk after high school, then attended Michigan State University before joining the United States Army Air Corps during World War II. He worked in advertising upon return and was a producer and director of Star of the Family. He was a producer for the documentary series Wide Wide World and a producer and director The Jonathan Winters Show.

Prior to his unsuccessful bid for his party's mayoral nomination, Frank said about Mayor Lindsay, "He’s the most popular mayor in the world — outside of New York."[1]

It took until 1992 for an independent review board to be created during the administration of Mayor David Dinkins. Frank died in Miami, Florida.[2]
