Mayor Eric Adams announced Wednesday that Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch will be the next Commissioner of the NYPD, effective Monday.
Tisch is a 12-year veteran of the NYPD and the current commissioner of the New York City Department of Sanitation. She was previously the NYPD's technology czar, ABC7 reports.
"I've seen firsthand the profound nobility of the policing profession, and I was proud to work shoulder-to-shoulder with both uniform members and civilians to propel the NYPD into the next century of technological advancement," Tisch said. "I thank Mayor Adams for the tremendous honor to now lead the NYPD, and I understand the solemnity of this great responsibility."
Interim police commissioner Thomas Donlon had hoped to stay in the role, but the mayor said he will stay with the administration in another role.
