Overview

  • Attorney General Pam Bondi met Monday evening with Commissioner Jessica Tisch and NYPD brass at One Police Plaza in a roughly 30-minute session described by a police official as positive and productive.
  • An NYPD spokesman said Tisch told Bondi the department has crime under control and does not require National Guard troops, noting serious felonies are down about 4.7% compared with 2024.
  • The department characterized the encounter as a pre-scheduled meet-and-greet set before President Trump’s cashless-bail executive order; Mayor Eric Adams did not attend.
  • The meeting coincided with Trump’s order targeting jurisdictions that have substantially curtailed cash bail, directing Bondi to identify them within 30 days and warning that related federal funding could be suspended.
  • Sources said operational topics came up, including the NYPD’s interest in authority to take down dangerous drones, as Trump has floated sending Guard troops to New York after deploying 2,200 soldiers to Washington, D.C.
