Fire Commissioner

Robert S. Tucker

 The FDNY Commissioner, appointed by the Mayor of the City of New York, is a civilian executive who manages the agency’s more than 17,000 employees and $2 billion annual budget.

Commissioner Tucker directed the strategic growth and diversification of T&M USA, since becoming a principal of the company in 1999. Prior to that he spent nearly a decade in law enforcement management, serving as special assistant in the Office of the Queens County District Attorney, where he developed an extensive network of contacts in the law enforcement community while managing administrative aspects of a major urban prosecutor's office. This experience enabled him to work closely with executive level members of the New York City Police Department and the city administration, as well as with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Secret Service, and the different local U.S. Attorney's Offices, where he still maintains valuable relationships.

Among his many professional, civic and philanthropic affiliations, Commissioner Tucker has served on the boards of directors of the FDNY Foundation, the New York City Police Foundation, White Plains Hospital and Pace University.

Commissioner Tucker has been honored by the New York Board of Rabbis and the Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City.

He is a graduate of The George Washington University and Pace University School of Law.
