NEW YORK – Mayor Eric Adams has appointed Jessica Tisch, the city’s Sanitation Commissioner, to lead the New York City Police Department after a tumultuous period in which a commissioner and his replacement were investigated by the FBI.
It’s a non-traditional choice. Tisch has never been a police officer and will be only the second woman ever to serve as commissioner of the NYPD, following Keechant Sewell, who Adams appointed in 2022. However, Tisch is not new to the NYPD: she has worked there in a civilian role for over a year. a decade, ending her tenure as Deputy Commissioner for Information Technology.
