On July 17, 2023, the New York City Police Department announced exciting news. Mayor Eric Adams had chosen Tania Kinsella to serve as the first female of color to be appointed as the first deputy commissioner.
Kinsella has had an impressive career with the NYPD, having served in multiple positions including captain, commanding officer, deputy inspector, and inspector. Adams is looking to bring some much-needed change to the city's administration and Kinsella's appointment is a step in the right direction. He believes her leadership style is unparalleled and her appointment is a symbol of the "American Dream".
The Staten Island native is the youngest daughter of Jamaican and Guyanese immigrants and has followed in her mother's footsteps, who was a prominent leader in the 120th precinct. For the past year, Kinsella served as executive officer at the office of the chief of patrol.
In a statement, Kinsella expressed her excitement for the opportunity to serve her city. She said, “Working as a police officer is the most deeply rewarding job I can imagine. It’s about building community, helping others from all walks of life, and making a difference in people’s lives, especially those in need.”
Local leaders have praised Kinsella's appointment, including District Attorney Michael E. McMahon and Rep. Nicole Malliotakis. McMahon tweeted out his full statement on the appointment of Kinsella and Edward Caban, the first Latino police commissioner in NYPD history. He wrote, "My full statement on the appointment of Commissioner Edward Caban and First Deputy Commissioner and proud Staten Islander Tania Kinsella."
The NYPD is in for some big changes and the appointment of Tania Kinsella is just the start. Adams has high hopes for Kinsella and believes she can help the department not only in its crime-fighting profile, but also in terms of its image. He hopes her appointment can show people the possibilities of the NYPD.
