Mayor Zohran Mamdani appointed a longtime behavioral health leader on Tuesday to serve as commissioner of his newly created Office of Community Safety, filling a key post in an office already facing pressure from advocates over its authority, funding and structure.
Dr. Ayesha Delany-Brumsey will report to Deputy Mayor for Community Safety Renita Francois, whom Mamdani appointed in March when he created the office by executive order.
