Tisch, 44, was appointed police commissioner in November 2024 by Adams, the fourth person to oversee the nation's largest police department in an 18-month span, as Adams and members of his inner circle faced criminal investigations into allegations of corruption. Tisch said in a statement that she and Mamdani "share many of the same public safety goals for New York City: lowering crime, making communities safer, rooting out corruption, and giving our officers the tools, support, and resources they need to carry out their noble work." The mayor and his police commissioner come from contrasting backgrounds.
