Capt. Pamela Jeronimo, the commanding officer of the NYPD's 9th Precinct, has been promoted. 

According to the Precinct's X account, the NYPD has promoted Jeronimo to Deputy Inspector, a position in the department's upper management structure. Jeronimo has led the 9th Precinct — which covers the East Village — since December 2023. She made history as the first female commanding officer of the Precinct. 

A 21-year member of the NYPD, Jeronimo previously served as executive officer (second in command) at the 13th Precinct, which covers Stuyvesant Town, Gramercy, Madison Square and Union Square. Her résumé also includes roles in the Candidate Assessment Division, Patrol Borough Manhattan South, the Office of Management Analysis and Planning, Midtown South, and Brooklyn's 66th Precinct. 

She earned her law degree from New York Law School in Tribeca between 2014 and 2018, per LinkedIn. 

"I am deeply honored and grateful to be recognized with this promotion for the outstanding crime prevention efforts within the 9th Precinct," she told EVG. "This achievement is not mine alone — it is shared with the brave and dedicated women and men who work tirelessly every day to protect and serve our community.

She continued: "Whether leading a larger operational command or applying my legal expertise, I remain committed and ready to take on new challenges in service of public safety. I look forward to continuing our work together with integrity, professionalism, and dedication."

The NYPD typically rotates precinct commanders every two or three years. For now, Jeronimo remains at the helm of the 9th.
