"Mamdani, following a Nov. 11 Veterans' Day event in the Parkchester section of the Bronx, sidestepped a reporter's question as to whether he would continue to have a deputy mayor for public safety a position instituted by outgoing Mayor Eric Adams at the beginning of his term. We continue to have those conversations internally on the question of not only personnel, but also the positions within city government, Mamdani told a throng of reporters on Tuesday afternoon."
"Meanwhile, Mamdani continued to dodge questions on when he will meet with NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, who he has said he wants to retain, about staying in her position when he takes over on Jan. 1. I continue to be confident in my decision to retain police Commissioner Tisch and I look forward to the conversations that we will have, the mayor-elect said."
