New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said he is committed to cutting funding to the NYPD, but the amount hasn’t been determined yet
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Monday he is committed to cutting funding to the New York Police Department as part of a wave of reform for the agency, but said the amount would be determined over the next three weeks during budget talks.
Mr. de Blasio declined to say how much money would be shifted away from the NYPD, but said it would be less than $1 billion, a figure that some elected officials see as a goal. The department has an annual budget of $5.6 billion.
