Mayor Eric Adams announced Wednesday that Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch will be the next Commissioner of the NYPD, effective Monday.
Tisch will become the second female to serve in the role in the department’s 179-year history. The first, Keechant Sewell, was also appointed by Adams.
Tisch is a 12-year veteran of the NYPD and the current commissioner of the New York City Department of Sanitation. She was previously the NYPD’s technology czar.
NYPD Deputy Chief Richie Taylor told Yeshiva World News “I’ve known Commissioner Tisch for a very long time and have personally seen her in action getting stuff done. She’s extremely community oriented and she’s a friend of the highest caliber. We’re very fortunate to have her come back to the NYPD to lead us as we make New York City even safer”.
“The people of this city have been clear that they agree with what our administration has been fighting for since day one in office: a safer city where they don’t need to worry about walking down the street or taking the subway at night,” Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement. “To ensure New Yorkers have the ability to thrive in our city, we need a strong, battle-tested leader who will continue to drive down crime and ensure New Yorkers are safe and feel safe, and I cannot think of a leader more up to the task than Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
“As one of the most successful managers in our administration, I am confident that Commissioner Tisch will effectively lead the greatest police department in the world and continue to deliver the safety and peace of mind New Yorkers deserve,” Adams added.

God help us!
i dont understand how someone with an IT background that became a sanitation commissioner can lead the NYPD the biggest police department in North America. I hear that her father is a big donor but this will make the average cop scoff at her “guidance” we need much rachmei Shomayim with her in charge
The party is over.
She looks chassidish is this a bobov graduate? Definitely don’t see this one tackling any hard crime. This is not a face you put to frighten someone
Hopefully she will do a good job. She has experience from her sanitation background so that’s good too. Both departments have NY in their name. NYPD /NYCDS
Adams makes really smart moves. Thanks!
Not any mention of the fact she’s jewish?
She gave a dvar Torah at her opening ceremony
Does that only count for zionists?
A sanitation commissioner knows how to get rid of the garbage. If she can do same at NYPD there is potential.
rebEmes: She looks chassidish is this a bobov graduate?
Are you confusing her with Judge Freier?
Is this the Jessica Tisch that is in the family of James Tisch?
I remember her Bas Mitzvah.
ReverendRabbi and all the trimmings.
James said, when criticized by his reform fellows for supporting the frum gemorah project, “without Orthodoxy there is no Reform.”
Money doesn’t talk.
It screams!
NYC has come a long way since 1898, when Theodore Roosevelt was the police commissioner–the wrong way.
