"Today is Jessica Tisch's first day as the police commissioner. She had spent the last two and a half years as the commissioner of a different city agency under Mayor Eric Adams the Sanitation Department. He announced her new post last week."
"At the Police Department, Tisch will face a long list of problems, not the least of which involves the public's sense of safety. Assaults and rapes have jumped even as crime has inched down overall."
"But New Yorkers remain nervous about random attacks. I discussed Tisch and the issues she will have to address with Maria Cramer, who covers crime and the Police Department for the Metro desk."
"Why did the mayor decide to move her from the Sanitation Department to the police? He said he was looking for someone with vision. What that vision is remains to be seen she hasn't sat down for a long interview yet."
