NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch cracks down on police misconduct in break from predecessors

Just five months into her post, Tisch’s approach marks a break from previous commissioners, including Tom Donlon, Edward Caban and Keechant Sewell. Without naming them directly, she emphasized in a speech last week before the Citizens Crime Commission that she’s holding officers more accountable — a shift that’s being closely watched as a potential turning point for the NYPD and for Mayor Eric Adams’ leadership over it.
