Cuomo says he'll keep Jessica Tisch as NYPD commish if elected
Andrew Cuomo says he’ll ask the current NYPD commissioner, Jessica Tisch, to stay on the job if he’s elected mayor Nov. 4.
“I think Commissioner Tisch has done a really, really good job and I would say off the bat I would ask her to stay,” Cuomo said in a Sunday interview with CBS News New York’s Marcia Kramer.
The statement, made in the final weeks of the campaign, comes as front-runner and Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani is reportedly considering picking from a stable of veteran officials to lead the NYPD. He’s also publicly said he’s considering keeping Tisch, and has praised her for “decisive action to uproot corruption at the upper echelons at the NYPD and her presiding over lower levels of crime across this city.”
Mamdani’s team is also considering Rodney Harrison and Isa Abbassi, who both previously served in senior capacities at the NYPD, and Tracie Keesee, another NYPD veteran with extensive law enforcement experience, sources have told the Daily News.
