""I do want her to stay," Mamdani told ABC7's Bill Ritter. "I made that commitment during the election and I continue to believe [that].""
""She came into a police department where Mayor Adams had stacked the upper echelons with corruption and incompetence," Mamdani said.. "She started to root that out, started to deliver accountability and reduce crime across the five boroughs. That's something I'm looking to build on under a Mamdani administration.""
""I think the number of officers we have is the right amount," Mamdani said."
Zohran Mamdani met with NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch and expressed a desire for her to remain in the role when he takes office. Mamdani praised Tisch for rooting out corruption and delivering accountability, and credited her with reducing crime across the five boroughs. Mamdani criticized staffing choices under the outgoing administration and signaled he wants to build on reduced crime while pursuing different policing philosophies. Tisch favors hiring more officers, while Mamdani believes current numbers are appropriate. Mamdani plans a Department of Community Safety to handle many mental-health and homelessness calls, a move criticized by law enforcement.
