Jessica Tisch Sworn In as NYPD Commissioner

Jessica Tisch has been sworn in as the new NYPD Commissioner, becoming the second woman to hold the position in the department's history. Previously the city's Sanitation Commissioner, Tisch brings extensive experience from her 17 years in city government, including various roles within the NYPD. She takes on the position amidst a backdrop of leadership changes and challenges within the department, such as attrition and an ongoing federal investigation involving previous commissioners. Tisch has been recognized for her leadership under multiple mayoral administrations and praised by Mayor Eric Adams as a 'battle-tested leader.' Her priorities include enhancing officer safety and public security through advanced training and technology. Tisch's appointment follows interim Police Commissioner Tom Donlon's brief tenure after the resignation of Edward Caban.
