In response to Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani’s intention to retain Jessica Tisch as NYPD Commissioner, New York City Council Member Tiffany Cabán released the following statement: 

“We are all ready to leave behind the Adams Administration’s failures. I’m clear about what I will continue to expect from a Police Commissioner: transparency, accountability, and the abandonment of failed policies that target those who are poor, struggling with homelessness, substance use disorder and mental illness. 

My mission is to reduce violence in our communities and improve health and safety outcomes. And I am hopeful that under the new administration we will see true investment in the care needed to keep New Yorkers safe – investments that will relieve the NYPD of the task of responding to every societal ill. 

Personally, I’m excited to partner with the Mamdani administration’s Department of Community Safety to develop a full continuum of care and safety for every New Yorker.”
