At least two law enforcement experts with deep experience in police reform efforts are emerging as possible contenders to become Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani’s choice for NYPD commissioner should he win next month’s election, the Daily News has learned.
The two potential picks — Rodney Harrison and Isa Abbassi — both previously served in senior capacities at the NYPD and are being looked at by Mamdani’s team as potential candidates for the city’s top cop job, two sources familiar with the matter said this week. A third source close to Mamdani said Tracie Keesee , another NYPD veteran with extensive law enforcement experience, is being eyed as a possible commissioner candidate, too, though a campaign insider said she hasn’t spoken directly with anyone from his team.
