"A mayor's choice for police commissioner is considered one of the highest profile appointments a new administration has to make. As the largest police force in the nation, the commissioner is often in the spotlight as much as the mayor. The relationship is also key a mayoralty's success can hinge on the success of its police leader and the department, with city crime rates closely scrutinized as much as any policy or decision coming out of City Hall."
"Mamdani has made his admiration for Tisch clear, telling CNN he believes she could help deliver on his public safety agenda. I make the decision to retain commissioner Tisch not only to build on the results that we've seen under her tenure, but also to deliver on the agenda that I've been running on, Mamdani said. Mamdani's signature public safety proposal, the creation of a new agency known as the department of public safety would need full buy-in from the police department."
Zohran Mamdani announced his intention to retain NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch but has not spoken to her privately about the offer. He expressed confidence she will accept. The commissioner leads the nation's largest police force and the appointment is high-profile. Mamdani believes Tisch could help deliver his public safety agenda. He proposes a Department of Public Safety, a civilian agency focused on community-based prevention targeting homelessness and mental illness. Police would still respond when needed but focus on violent crime and prevention. The mayor-commissioner relationship can determine administration success.
