Tisch's welcome NYPD reforms: Cleaning house at 1 Police Plaza

Just 10 days into her tenure, new Police Commissioner Jessie Tisch found herself at the center of a maelstrom after a gunman shot dead a health care CEO on a Manhattan sidewalk. With the suspect now in custody, Tisch is correctly turning her attention to more structural matters, boosting better and smarter management.

Every commissioner ultimately seeks to make a lasting mark on the department and Tisch is the proper track to do some needed repairs. Her ordering of 500 officers to be transferred back to their permanent assignments as opposed to meandering off to unofficial reassignments is also a signal that any chummy informality is out the window. Our police officers are professionals and need to be treated as such.

This is a police department with the head count, arsenal and reach of some small armies, and the only way it can effectively be run is under a clear structure of accountability. Tisch, a respected administrator who’s proven to be effective at managing departments as disparate as Information Technology and Telecommunications and Sanitation, can be the right person at the right time to inject a little more transparency and responsibility into the force.

She'll do some BS show things, get some good press, write a book, get some promotion and move on.
After the Knapp commission and nothing changed. Police are out of control.

Also, the police union owns NYC politics.
