State lawmakers must pass Daniel’s Law and prioritize social services over police surveillance. “We need leadership that will treat New Yorkers in crisis with dignity, not negate their existence. And finally, Daniel’s Law will take the power away from police and put local mental health experts in charge of how these crises are addressed. It will ensure mental health experts are the first responders to mental health crises, not police. Daniel’s Law will help New York state treat mental health crises as they are: public health crises, not public safety threats. "With the support of Daniel Prude’s family, there is a proposed bill in Albany known as Daniel’s Law, which holds the promise of a different way. “We need policies that shift our vision of how our city responds to people in crisis. The solution to homelessness is permanent affordable housing, not criminalizing poverty. Mental health crises should be addressed with a trauma-informed response, not an approach that inflicts further trauma and endangers the lives of the very people the NYPD is supposed to serve. “The NYPD should not, under any circumstances, be first responders to people in need of clinical expertise. “Today, Governor Hochul and Mayor Adams have unabashedly emboldened the NYPD when New Yorkers have taken to the streets and the polls to fight for exactly the opposite outcome. “The NYPD continues to assess conditions in the New York City Transit System and will continue to adjust deployments as appropriate,” an NYPD spokesperson said.NEW YORK CITY – In response to Governor Hochul and Mayor Adams’s joint announcement Thursday establishing omnipresent NYPD subway enforcement that will surveil and intimidate New Yorkers experiencing homelessness, New York Civil Liberties Union executive director Donna Lieberman issued the following statement:

Other rank-and-file cops were “pissed” and taken by surprise by the mayor’s comments. Indeed, moments after the mayor’s unrelated press conference in the Bronx, a Post reporter spotted at least seven cops huddled together at the Third Avenue–149th Street station. The change was focused on reducing cops clustering on subway platforms.Paul Martinka

They added the change was aimed at reducing cops clustering on subway platforms.

“They can’t stand next to each other and be on the same platform.” “They’re really not single since they’re across the platform in view of their partner,” the source said. One cop said the mayor’s characterization was a bit misleading and believed it was a clear move to cut down on overtime in transit, where cops can log 40 to 60 hours of extra pay each month. “They’re even less effective now that criminals know there are no consequences for fighting cops and resisting arrest.” “Solo transit patrols were abandoned because they make it harder for cops to protect straphangers and ourselves,” PBA president Patrick Lynch said. Partnered patrols were initiated in 2014 after Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were killed in broad daylight sitting in a marked police car.AP Photo/New York Police Department, File It was unclear when the shift would start, but the move was already facing blowback by Friday afternoon from the NYPD’s largest police union in one of its first public criticisms of the Adams administration. The partnered patrols were initiated in 2014 to add a layer of safety for cops after NYPD Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were ambushed in broad daylight while sitting in a marked police car on a Brooklyn street corner. “When we made every patrol a dual patrol, we cut our department basically in half,” he added.Īdams said the move was not a budget decision but came from Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell’s internal review. “What that is going to allow us to do is now utilize our resources in the omnipresence that we have been talking about. “We are determined to single patrol,” Adams said Friday morning. Mayor Eric Adams wants the NYPD to walk patrols on city subways alone to cover more ground - which would end a safety protocol put in place in the wake of the assassination of two police officers nearly a decade ago.
