Following a series of violent deli incidents, Mayor Eric Adams announced a $1.6 million initiative to install panic buttons in up to 500 bodegas in high-crime areas across New York City. The buttons will directly connect to the NYPD to expedite police response. The initiative aims to mitigate crime in neighborhoods and provide additional security for store owners and customers. While a previous pilot program was criticized for poor integration, this expanded effort intends to enhance safety with an element of surprise in the distribution of devices.
This mayor has made this the safest city in the world, but there are always pockets where criminals take advantage ... those pockets, we all know, the trains, taxis, and bodegas - we're the easy target.
Instead of just having the cats keeping away the rats, we're going to have a direct connection with the police to keep away those dangerous cats that try to rob our stores.
No one knows who would actually have a device or not. That adds to the omnipresent and the element of surprise that we're looking for.
The bodegas are important, and what this is going to do is add an extra layer of safety.
