"Tisch immediately brought a steady, competent hand to One Police Plaza. She shook up the brass and removed chiefs and other high-ranking officials tied to scandal and corruption. She worked with Mayor Adams to tackle the staffing crisis head-on, reforming the recruitment process to help address the biggest exodus of NYPD officers in more than 30 years. Most importantly, Tisch helped lead the NYPD to historic drops this year in murders, shootings and other violent crimes."
"She did so while earning the respect of the rank-and-file, the upper echelon of the department, and elected officials of every political leaning, including Mamdani. Tisch's continuance as police commissioner is one less thing for New Yorkers to worry about. The balance of power at City Hall may be shifting, yet the NYPD will continue its crime-fighting mission under a commissioner who has proven to be a stabilizing force at One Police Plaza, and beyond. We believe Mamdani would be wise to lean on Tisch"
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will retain Jessica Tisch as New York City Police Commissioner when he takes office Jan. 1, keeping leadership continuity at One Police Plaza. Tisch was appointed by Mayor Eric Adams less than a year ago and replaced a series of predecessors amid turnover. Tisch removed chiefs tied to scandal, overhauled recruitment to address a historic officer exodus, and worked with city leadership to tackle the staffing crisis. Under her leadership the NYPD saw historic drops in murders, shootings and other violent crimes. Tisch earned respect across the rank-and-file, department leadership, and elected officials, and her continuance reduces uncertainty during the City Hall power shift.
