Statement from Andrew Tisch, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, New York City Police Foundation on the appointment of Dermot Shea as Police Commissioner

“Dermot Shea, is a 28 year veteran at the NYPD, and has been instrumental in helping to make New York City the safest big city in the country. He is a terrific asset to the New York City Police Department as it continues to build trust between the police and the communities they serve to drive down crime rates. We look forward to working with him on the key programs that the Foundation supports like Neighborhood Policing.

We thank Commissioner James P. O’Neill for his leadership since becoming Commissioner in 2016 and for more than 35 years of service to the Department and to the City and people of New York, and we wish him the greatest success.”
