She's giving them ho ho ho!
Less than a month on the job, Jessica Tisch, New York City's new top cop, has been cleaning houses, playing brass, and making other people's comfortable living at 1 Police Plaza. I didn't waste time disabling benefits.
Tisch, the second woman to lead the nation's largest police force, spent much of December dismantling the so-called boys' club within the NYPD, ousting the internal affairs director for his lax handling of the former chief. . Jeffrey Madrid's raging sex scandal. He stripped two high-ranking officials from overtime-hungry drivers and fired a foul-mouthed publicist who once called a Post reporter a “shit king.” Damn you.
“She is in charge and wants to end the out-of-control flux house atmosphere that has prevailed within the NYPD,” one law enforcement source told the Post.
“Things are different now than they were when I was a commissioner.” [Keechant] Sewell [Edward] with cavan [Thomas] Donlon,” the source added. “The mayor is not going to protect anyone and no one is safe.”
Tisch, a former city sanitation commissioner, has been tasked with taking out the NYPD's trash since taking office on November 25th.
On Friday, she fired IAB Director Michael Iglesias, citing that Mr. Madrid had made him work excessive amounts of overtime and, among other things, had ignored her requests to investigate subordinates to whom Mr. Madrid had repeatedly requested sex. .
The alleged victim, Lt. Quatisha Epps, filed an equal employment discrimination lawsuit against the city, alleging that Madley, a former NYPD uniformed police officer, demanded all kinds of sex in exchange for exorbitant overtime pay.
The sordid scandal, which also allegedly involved other women, prompted Mayor Eric Adams to launch a department-wide personnel review.
Mr. Iglesias was also known to despise Mr. Tisch and was often at odds with Kristin Ryan, the NYPD's deputy commissioner for management and budget — despite both being three-star executives. According to the person.
In one encounter, Iglesias allegedly barges into Ryan's office and bites her after Ryan hangs up on her while she's on the phone, sources said.
Meanwhile, Mr Tisch also removed the drivers and security details of Sergeant John Chell, Deputy Chief of Operations Kaz Daughtry and First Deputy Chief Tania Kinsella. They had an astonishing 18 men, three times the number of their predecessors.
Both drivers, Chell and Daughtry, were on the list of top 400 overtime workers, and both senior officers had been warned to keep the matter under wraps, but they apparently ignored the notice, officials said. spoke.
Tisch also fired the press office in September after Deputy Director of Public Affairs Tarik Shepard called a Post reporter a “slut” and got into a fight with then-interim NYPD Commissioner Donlon during a photo shoot. I kicked him out.
Sources said Sheppard had fallen out of favor with Adams, who was angry over the sophomore's “vile” verbal abuse.
Tisch, a Harvard graduate, is trying to restore law and order to ordinary citizens. She recently redeployed 600 patrol officers and detectives to the streets, essentially doing busywork, fulfilling Adams' desire to strengthen the ranks.
“The commissioner is trying to restore civility to the NYPD and wants to make sure all officers are held accountable,” the official said.
Tisch hinted at a take-no-prisoners approach in a post interview shortly after taking office.
“I think New York City is special,” said the mother of two boys. “I don’t think exceptionalism in New York City means accepting the status quo when it doesn’t serve New Yorkers.
“I'm more interested in the nature of the job than in the intrigues of the palace,” she added.
Mr. Tisch will become the fourth NYPD police chief in the past three years under Mr. Adams.
She takes over as Mr. Hizner faces historic federal corruption charges. He has already indicted several City Hall insiders, including longtime aide Ingrid Lewis Martin, who surrendered to authorities last week on state bribery charges.
“Mayor Adams has appointed Director Tisch to lead the NYPD to continue the administration's success in combating crime while looking at the NYPD with new eyes and making the necessary changes to improve the NYPD. ,” City Hall spokeswoman Kayla Mamelak said. Post Sunday.
“The Mayor is working closely with the Chief of Police to improve the lives of our officers and all New Yorkers,” Mamelak said.
