This NYPD chief was practically born to be part of the NYPD, and on Monday she’ll be joining an exclusive club of female assistant chiefs.

Deputy Chief Terri Tobin will be promoted to two-star chief on Monday at One Police Plaza, becoming the fourth female assistant chief currently on the job, the Post has learned.

“I feel honored and privileged to be joining the three other women in this rank because I know them,” Tobin, 57, told the Post during an exclusive interview on Friday — 37 years to the day since she joined the department. “I’ve worked with most of them during the course of my career.”

Tobin joins Assistant Chiefs Donna Jones, who was promoted in August 2018 and heads the Criminal Justice Bureau, Kim Royster of the Community Affairs Bureau and Kathleen O’Reilly, commanding officer of Patrol Borough Manhattan North.

Growing up in Rosedale, Queens, Tobin is one of five children — four of whom, including Terri, followed in their father’s footsteps and joined law enforcement.

“My father was a 28-year veteran of the NYPD,” she said. “He was probably the best advertisement for this job.”

Her father was a patrol officer throughout his career and “was always smiling going to work,” she recalled.

Tobin came on the job in July of 1983 and spent years patrolling the streets of Queens. Over the years, she rose through the ranks and was working as a lieutenant for the Deputy Commissioner of Public Information when tragedy struck on September 11, 2001.

“It was election day, so I remember I voted in Rockaway and came to work, so I got there early,” she recalled.

As news broke of a plane crashing into the north tower, she and her co-workers quickly made their way to the scene.

“At that point we were thinking it was a small Cessna and going back to Teterboro the person had a heart attack … never thinking that it was a commercial airline,” she said. “I don’t think we had any inkling that the buildings were going to come down on that day.”

When the south tower collapsed, Tobin was thrown across the street, splitting her Kevlar helmet in half.

“I think it made my commitment that much stronger to the NYPD, to be honest with you. I don’t think that there’s any other place that I would have wanted to be than exactly where I was, doing what I was doing.”

Years later, Tobin was promoted to deputy chief in 2014 and joined the NYPD’s collaborative policing efforts in that year, becoming the commanding officer for the Deputy Commissioner of Collaborative Policing.

When asked where she plans to go from here, she smiled and said with a laugh:

“If you could just get an appointment with the [Police Commissioner] and ask him that, I’d really appreciate that.”
