"I've made my decision to retain Commissioner Tisch. I've done so because Eric Adams had stacked the upper echelon of the NYPD with incompetence and corruption. She came in and tackled and started to deliver accountability and reduce crime across the five boroughs, Mamdani said."
"As I've said many times, it is not appropriate for the Police Commissioner to be directly involved or to seem to be involved in electoral politics, Tisch said."
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani announced his decision to retain Jessica Tisch as New York City police commissioner. Mamdani cited Tisch's efforts to address corruption and to deliver accountability while reducing crime across all five boroughs. Tisch has not publicly confirmed whether she will remain under the new mayor and previously stated that the police commissioner should avoid direct involvement in electoral politics. The NYPD spokesperson referred inquiries to Tisch's prior comments. Department insiders offered differing interpretations: some credited Tisch with record-low crime and potential mayoral ambitions, while others questioned whether her ideals and religious background would align with Mamdani. Tisch's future at the helm remains unsettled as the transition proceeds.
