Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch is expected to announce that Cardinal Timothy Dolan and the Rev. A.R. Bernard will serve as NYPD chaplains.

Police say the police commissioner will make an announcement tomorrow at the "State of the NYPD" address.

"Cardinal Timothy Dolan and Reverend A.R. Bernard are two of the most righteous people this City has ever known. They are two men of incredible faith whose life and leadership embody the moral clarity, compassion, and wisdom our officers rely on in their hardest moments," Tisch said in a statement. "For decades, they have helped shape the spiritual life of this city through leadership that reaches far beyond their pulpits. Their decision to serve the NYPD speaks to something enduring between faith and policing, and to the place the Chief Chaplain role has long held in the lives of the men and women who wear the shield.”

Dolan was the archbishop of New York since 2009 - before Pope Leo XIV chose Bishop Ronald Hicks to succeed him in December.

Bernard is the founder of the Christian Cultural Center megachurch in Brooklyn.
