City Council members pushed back on key tenets of the NYPD’s new crime fighting strategies and demanded justification for its multibillion-dollar budget at a hearing Friday.
“We’re working very hard to restore that sense of order, that sense of calm, that sense of safety into the transit system,” Chief of Transit Jason Wilcox told members of the Council’s Public Safety Committee. “We’re addressing quality of life.” NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell then interjected. “We’re not removing people from the subway; we’re endeavoring to provide services to them to get them out of the subway, a condition they probably don’t want to be in,” she said.
In all, the NYPD budget for the current fiscal year is $5.6 billion, 90% of which is personnel costs, Sewell said. With pensions and debt service factored in, the budget is roughly $11 billion, according to the “You just said crime has gone up -- with $11 billion and 50,000 police officers,” he said. “The causes of crime is not a lack of policing. The causes of crime is poverty, unemployment, mental health, illness, drug addiction, homelessness, education or lack thereof. The answer to crime is not more policing.”
