Jessica Tisch Poised to Become NYPD's Next Commissioner Amid Administrative Turmoil

Interim Commissioner Thomas Donlon expected to step down as Mayor Adams faces federal investigations and seeks a permanent police chief.

Jessica Tisch, currently the Sanitation Commissioner, is the leading candidate to become the NYPD's next permanent commissioner.
Interim Commissioner Thomas Donlon is anticipated to resign soon following complications with his background check and a federal search of his home.
Mayor Eric Adams is under federal indictment, and his administration is grappling with several corruption probes, affecting multiple officials.
Former Commissioner Edward Caban resigned after federal agents seized his electronic devices as part of a corruption investigation.
Tisch, if appointed, would be the second woman to hold the position of NYPD commissioner and is known for her extensive experience in city government.
