Eric Adams picks Jessica Tisch as NYPD commissioner

Politico  

Tisch, who is relatively young for the job at 43, is not new to the NYPD. “Commissioner Tisch does not have to be in city government,” Adams said Wednesday, referring to her wealth. “She’s here because of the love of the city, coming from a family that has been committed and dedicated to the betterment of New York City, and using her experience and expertise to take us to the next level.” Tisch will start leading the NYPD on Monday. “The mission is to keep you safe, make you feel safe and improve your quality of life.” Her ascent will mark the end of Donlon’s brief, two-month tenure — though the former federal law enforcement official will remain in city government under Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Chauncey Parker. “We can count on her.” Before Tisch was tapped to lead the sanitation department, the Harvard Law School graduate served as commissioner for the city’s Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications under former Mayor Bill de Blasio — a background that made her ideally suited to Adams’ vision of the NYPD.
