Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch named by Mayor Adams as new NYPD commissioner

Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch will take the reins of the NYPD Monday as the city’s new top cop, Mayor Eric Adams announced Wednesday.

Tisch will succeed interim Police Commissioner Tom Donlon, who took the position back in September following the resignation of Edward Caban, who stepped down amid a federal corruption investigation into the department that involves his brother. She will not only be the second female top cop in the city’s history, but also Mayor Adams’ foruth police commissioner during his first term.
