NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch accepted Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s offer to stay on as top cop when he takes office, The Post has learned — a bridge-building move that comes despite their profound political differences. The highly anticipated appointment fulfills Mamdani’s campaign promise to keep the respected 44-year-old police executive in the prominent role as the far-left candidate looks to ease concerns from the moderate wing of the Democratic Party and Big Apple bigwigs as he builds out his administration. Mamdani’s team, in a statement announcing the appointment, lauded Tisch’s leadership, driving a significant drop in crime — including record-low shootings so far this year.
