New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani announced Nov. 19 that Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch has agreed to remain in her role.

Her decision comes after Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist who once called for defunding the New York Police Department, said he would ask Tisch to stay on after he was elected.
