NYPD unions endorsed Mayor Eric Adams for his reelection campaign, despite pending lawsuits, including sexual assault allegations. The unions represent various ranks within the NYPD, and Adams' campaign is focused on public safety. Adams claimed historic lows in shootings and homicides while addressing the media at City Hall. The Police Benevolent Association has not formally endorsed him yet. Allegations of corruption and FBI investigations have marked Adams' first term as mayor. The outcome of the endorsements' impact in November remains uncertain.
"Everybody running for office right now for the mayor... they all have plans on how they're going to reduce crime. Those are plans. We have action that has been working. Why do you want to change that?"
"This year, under the leadership of the police commissioner, we're seeing the lowest numbers of shootings and homicides in the recorded history of the city."
