“After the tremendous success we have achieved at the Department of Corrections to reduce violence and improve safety, I’m honored Mayor Adams has selected me to take on even greater responsibility for public safety in our city,” said Molina. “I returned to the city where I was born and raised to serve in the Adams administration because public safety has been my life’s mission.”
“Over the last 22 months, Lou has demonstrated exceptional leadership and dedication as the commissioner of the Department of Corrections, helping to reverse decades of mismanagement and neglect,” said Adams. “What done in his tenure was he had 28 people pass away in just two years, so it’s infuriating that instead of holding him accountable, just giving him a cushy job at City Hall.”
