A city government stalwart and ex-NYPD official, Jessica Tisch is the second woman in the high-profile, high-pressure post.

Tisch, 43, the Harvard-educated scion of a wealthy New York family, has worked for the city for 16 years, holding leadership roles in several agencies. As sanitation commissioner, she became TikTok famous when she declared in 2022, “The rats don’t run the city, we do.”

At her swearing-in ceremony Monday, Tisch took the oath with her grandfather's police chaplain shield and her grandmother's bible.

"To the men and women of the NYPD, my greatest hope is that together we will return this noble undertaking, this job of high moral purpose, to a time and a place where you want your children, your grandchildren, your nieces, your nephews to follow in your footsteps and become police officers," the new top cop said. #linkinbio #nbc4ny
