Mayor Eric Adams announced he would reinstate the last of five suspended NYPD academy classes, adding 1,600 cadets to the force in 2025 due to improved budget conditions.
The update to the FY 2025 budget increased the total to $115 billion while maintaining a balanced spending plan, indicating stronger-than-expected tax revenues.
Adams is reversing many earlier budget cuts related to the migrant crisis, attributing the decision to better-than-anticipated tax revenues and a streamlined spending approach.
Earlier this year, funding was restored to vital city services like public libraries, cultural institutions, parks, and early childhood education, reflecting a focus on community needs.
