Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani introduced key members of his incoming administration on Monday but continued to dodge questions about whether Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch will remain as the city's top law enforcement official under his leadership. Mamdani has repeatedly expressed interest in retaining Tisch, Mayor Eric Adams' fourth police commissioner, highlighting her efforts to combat corruption within the NYPD. He has stated as early as Oct. 22,

Stickel, formerly deputy chief, has been serving as interim chief since Sept. 20 following the retirement of Chief Anthony Bellamy. "Chief Stickel has demonstrated unwavering dedication, professionalism and leadership throughout his tenure with CUPD," Honan said. "His commitment to campus safety, community engagement and operational excellence has earned the respect of his peers and the broader Cornell community. This promotion is a well-deserved recognition of his service and vision for the future of CUPD."

The announcement of the Police Leadership Commission comes after policing has been mired in controversy in recent years, including a recent undercover investigation which captured Metropolitan Police officers at Charing Cross police station calling for immigrants to be shot. Damning footage raised fresh questions about culture and standards at Britain's biggest police force after officers were also filmed making sexualised comments, appearing to dismiss a rape complaint and bragging about the use of force on detainees.

Being a police chief in a major city in the United States today is half political and half administrative. They set the policies of the department. They coordinate with the city administration, the mayor, the council, and other elected officials. They pick leadership, like the deputy chiefs and the captains. And they manage big picture stuff, like the budget, personnel, and rules.

Sir Ian Blair, who served as the Metropolitan police commissioner from 2005 to 2008, has died at the age of 72. Blair implemented significant changes across the police force during his tenure.
