Private security exec Robert Tucker tapped as NYC’s 35th Fire Commissioner

By Ethan Stark-Miller Posted on August 12, 2024

Robert Tucker, a private security executive and longtime FDNY Foundation board member, will be New York City’s 35th Fire Commissioner, Mayor Eric Adams announced on Monday.

Hizzoner officially appointed Tucker — currently CEO of the private security company T&M Protection Resources, — during a ceremony at the FDNY’s Randall’s Island training facility on Aug. 12. Tucker will succeed Laura Kavanagh, the first woman to lead the FDNY, in the role after she formally resigned last week.
