Mayor Zohran Mamdani has proposed cutting $22 million from the NYPD budget during his fiscal year 2027 preliminary budget.

"Commissioner Tisch has concerns with the initial drafting of the bills, and she is working closely with the speaker's office to ensure that the language of the bill maintains the NYPD's flexibility to both protect houses of worship and facilitate First Amendment rights," NYPD spokesperson Delaney Kempner said in a statement to City and State.

When Zohran Mamdani was a New York state assembly member, he sponsored the Stop Fakes Act, which would have prohibited law enforcement from creating fake electronic communication service accounts and collecting users' account information.

"Supervisors tracked jobs by hand, and officers didn't always have a clear picture of what was assigned, what was still open, or who was responsible for follow-up. ... That might work when volume is low. It doesn't work in a city of eight million people."
