Benjamin B. Tucker is an American police officer and administrator who was appointed First Deputy New York City Police Commissioner on Nov. 5, 2014, in a ceremony at 1 Police Plaza in New York City. Commissioner Tucker is the NYPD's 43rd first deputy commissioner. "This is an amazing moment and time in my life," Tucker said. "I joined the NYPD family on November 21, 1969, as an 18-year-old." He was sworn in as a police officer trainee at that time,[4] and is now second in command of the nation's largest police force with a uniformed strength just shy of 35,000, plus several thousand in support staff.[5] He later retired from the New York Police Department in December 2021.[1]
