"I look forward to working with Commissioner Jessica Tisch to deliver genuine public safety in New York City. I have admired her work cracking down on corruption in the upper echelons of the police department, driving down crime in New York City, and standing up for New Yorkers in the face of authoritarianism, Mamdani said.Together, we will deliver a city where rank-and-file police officers and the communities they serve alike are safe, represented, and proud to call New York their home."
"Thanks to the men and women of the NYPD, the strategies we deployed this year have delivered historic reductions in crime, Commissioner Tisch said. I've spoken to Mayor-elect Mamdani several times, and I'm ready to serve with honor as his Police Commissioner. That's because he and I share many of the same public safety goals for New York City: lowering crime, making communities safer, rooting out corruption, and giving our officers the tools, support, and resources they need to carry out their noble work."
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani announced that Jessica Tisch will remain Police Commissioner when his administration begins on Jan. 1. Mamdani cited Tisch's commitment to lowering crime and her efforts to root out corruption within the department as central reasons for the decision. The announcement ends weeks of public speculation and aligns with Mamdani's previously stated desire to keep her in the role. Tisch said she is ready to serve, credited NYPD personnel for historic crime reductions this year, and emphasized shared goals with Mamdani of safer communities, anti-corruption efforts, and support for officers. Tisch was appointed just under a year ago by Mayor Eric Adams as his fourth commissioner in as many years.
