Both mayoral candidates, Brad Lander and Zellnor Myrie, have pledged to retain NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch if elected, despite concerns about her aggressive enforcement against cyclists. At a recent debate, they emphasized the importance of balancing road safety and responsible policing. While other candidates have not committed to retaining Tisch, she has not faced direct criticism. This reflects a complex landscape where officials appreciate her competencies but are wary of her approach toward enforcement of cycling laws.
“Brad trusts Jessie Tisch to fully implement the policies he will lay out as mayor,” said Kat Capossela. Lander's stance aims to balance safety with smart enforcement.
“Myrie will work with his Police Commissioner to keep our streets safe without unnecessary enforcement,” highlighting a need for a nuanced approach to police accountability.
