DeBlasio’s New Motto, Refund The Police

by CrownHeights.info

After years of undermining New York City’s Police Department with calls to defund the police, New York City’s Mayor has changed tunes, adding $105 million to the department’s budget.

The news, which was first published by Politico, came as unsurprising due to a large surge in violent crime across the city.

In 2020, the NYPD saw $10.9 billion in expenses, with an operating budget of $5.6 billion with the rest for benefits, pensions and other expenses.

IN June of 2020, De Blasio announced a plan to cut and “shift” $1 billion away from the department.
