Mayor Adams to Choose New NYPD Commissioner

New York City's interim police commissioner, Thomas Donlon, is expected to resign just weeks after his appointment, amid a tumultuous period for Mayor Eric Adams' administration, which has seen multiple staff resignations and arrests due to federal investigations. Mayor Adams, under scrutiny himself following an indictment on multiple charges, is set to appoint a new permanent NYPD commissioner soon, with NYC Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch emerging as the frontrunner. Tisch's potential appointment has garnered positive remarks from City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, who praised her performance in the sanitation department. Meanwhile, federal raids connected to investigations into corruption in the NYPD have intensified, with searches occurring at the School Safety Division. Donlon's interim tenure has also been marred by controversy, including the dismissal of senior staff and the federal investigation into his predecessor, Edward Caban, who resigned amid allegations of corruption. The ongoing leadership challenges reflect a broader crisis within the Adams administration, as it grapples with a significant shakeup of its top officials.
