Jessica S. Tisch, New York City's police commissioner, announced a shake-up of the department's upper ranks by replacing the combative head of communications, aiming to restore order amidst chaos and dysfunction.
The announcement to replace the head of communications comes after Tisch ordered the return of 500 improperly transferred officers to their regular assignments, addressing short staffing and slow emergency responses.
The Police Department has faced instability with three commissioners leaving in 18 months, highlighting the perception that Mayor Eric Adams has been the de facto leader of the agency instead of its appointed heads.
In a public safety meeting, Mayor Adams commended Tisch's leadership and her internal audit that uncovered unauthorized placements of hundreds of officers, further justifying the ongoing structural changes in the department.
