NYPD Police Commissioner Dermot Shea and another top cop have put in their retirement papers in the weeks before Mayor-elect Eric Adams takes office, The Post has learned.
Shea and First Deputy Commissioner Ben Tucker will step away from the police department on Dec. 31, according to police sources.
Shea, the third white Irish man as the top cop under Mayor Bill de Blasio, was appointed to the police commissioner in November 2019 after former police leader James O’Neill retired. He, like his predecessor, was considered a protege of Bill Bratton.
