New York City Mayor Adams appoints Jessica Tisch as NYPD police commissioner

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has appointed Jessica Tisch as the new NYPD police commissioner, making her the second woman to hold the position in the department's 179-year history. She replaces Interim Police Commissioner Thomas Donlon. Tisch previously served as the city's Sanitation Commissioner and has 12 years of experience with the NYPD, where she focused on technology improvements. She is the fourth person to lead the NYPD during Adams' administration. The NYPD has faced leadership changes recently, with concerns about staffing and support for officers. The Police Benevolent Association expressed hope for collaboration with Tisch to address ongoing challenges.
