flag Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani plans to keep NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch if elected, citing her crime reduction and department reforms.

flag Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani plans to ask NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch to remain in her role if elected, sources say. flag Tisch, appointed in November 2024 after a corruption probe led to the resignation of former commissioner Edward Caban, has overseen a citywide drop in crime and cleaned up corruption in the department’s leadership. flag Mamdani has praised her leadership and cited shared vision, though he has not made a formal commitment. flag His potential retention of Tisch may ease concerns about his past criticisms of the NYPD but could disappoint progressive allies wary of her policing approach. flag Mamdani also plans to maintain current NYPD staffing and create a new city agency to handle mental health calls, though Tisch has not endorsed the plan. flag Other reform-minded law enforcement figures were also reportedly considered for the role. flag His main rivals, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa, have pledged to increase police staffing. flag Mayor Eric Adams, who stepped down amid legal issues, appointed Tisch.
