Former controversial corrections chief Louis Molina gets administrative post with Mayor Adams

Mayor Eric Adams on Monday tapped his former correction commissioner Louis Molina to lead the city’s hiring and management agency after its last boss recently stepped down.

Adams appointed Molina, who currently serves as assistant deputy mayor for public safety, as the next head of the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) on June 3. The agency’s last commissioner, Dawn Pinnock, announced in April that she is resigning from the post at the end of June.
