New York City Mayor Eric Adams has appointed Jessica Tisch, the current sanitation commissioner, as the new permanent commissioner of the NYPD, marking her as only the second woman to hold this position. Tisch, who has 17 years of experience in city government, including roles within the NYPD, takes over amid a leadership crisis following the resignation of former commissioner Edward Caban amid federal investigations. Her appointment aims to stabilize the NYPD and restore confidence in the department while addressing public safety concerns in the city. Tisch is expected to leverage her management skills and innovative approach to drive down crime and enhance community safety. She will officially begin her role on Monday, succeeding interim commissioner Tom Donlon. Adams spoke highly of Tisch's capabilities, emphasizing the need for strong leadership in the police department during this tumultuous time.
