New York City appoints Jessica Tisch as new police commissioner to restore stability

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has appointed Jessica Tisch as the new police commissioner, following a period of instability marked by investigations and resignations. Tisch, previously the sanitation chief, is the second woman to hold this position. Tisch has worked for the city for 16 years, including roles in the NYPD's counterterrorism bureau and as deputy commissioner for information technology. Her appointment aims to provide strong leadership to the NYPD during a challenging time. Her predecessor, Keechant Sewell, resigned after 18 months amid speculation of internal conflicts. Tisch's leadership is expected to address ongoing issues within the department and restore its focus on public safety.
