In a move aimed at stabilizing the NYPD and addressing rising crime, Mayor Eric Adams appointed Jessica Tisch, the city’s Sanitation Commissioner, as the new police chief. Tisch, who replaces Edward Caban amid several corruption investigations involving Adams’ administration, will be only the second woman to lead the department. Her extensive experience in city government includes previous roles at the NYPD and a notable focus on public safety. Tisch's appointment signifies a push to restore confidence in the department as it navigates a turbulent political landscape.
