Police Commissioner Bill Bratton on Friday will appoint Carlos M. Gomez — the highest ranking Hispanic officer in the NYPD– to the top spot in the Housing Bureau, The Post has learned.
Gomez — an Assistant Chief who started his career in 1984 as a patrol cop in the 103 Precinct in Jamaica, Queens — was the Commanding Officer of Patrol Bureau Borough Bronx.
He replaces Three Star Chief Joanne Jaffe, who was recently tapped to head the Community Affairs Bureau.
In The Bronx, Gomez is credited with driving down crime to record levels with murders and shootings plummeting over the past to years.
“Chief Carlos Gomez is an outstanding leader who has excelled in a series of commands,” said Dennis Gonzalez, the President of the NYPD Hispanic Society.
“We are confident Chief Gomez will continue to raise the standards of excellence and professionalism in his capacity as Chief of Housing. He’s a well respected Chief in the department and has an exemplary record of accomplishments in his 30 year career,” Gonzalez added.
