Police Commissioner Search Underway
In an exclusive interview with our sister station Telemundo 47, Mayor Eric Adams confirmed that interim police commissioner Tom Donlon will soon be stepping aside to be replaced by a permanent police commissioner.
Background:
The former NYPD Commissioner, Edward Caban, resigned last month from his post amid a federal investigation into the force’s nightclub enforcement. According to a memo obtained by NBC New York, the investigation is exploring alleged improprieties in the way the department enforces laws related to nightlife.
Leading Contender to Run the NYPD:
Sources tell NBC New York that Jessie Tisch, the current Department of Sanitation commissioner with past experience as a crime strategy expert at the NYPD, is a leading contender for the top cop role. Tisch has received praise for her leadership and commitment from NYC Council Speaker Adrienne Adams.
Adams’ Administration Under Fire:
The turmoil surrounding the mayor’s office has led to a string of departures from top officials, including half a dozen investigations surrounding the mayor and his staff. Despite this, Speaker Adrienne Adams assures that city services have not been impacted.
