While there may not be wholesale changes to the NYPD if Tisch stays as police commissioner, there would be new initiatives under Mamdani, such as a new civilian agency called the Department of Community Safety. The agency would focus on a community-based prevention approach targeting homelessness and people experiencing mental illness.
Its hallmark won’t be adding more police but rather adding more mental health professionals and violence interrupters – a plan Mamdani says he hopes would free up officers to respond to other crimes.

Looming in the distance as well is the threat of potential federal intervention into crime-fighting in New York City, should Mamdani win the election.
Mamdani has spoken out about President Donald Trump sending National Guard troops into Democrat-run major cities, a move the president says is to restore law and order. Mamdani previously told CNN he would respond to the attempt by filing a lawsuit.
Is there current polling and predictions? Is NYC inundated with ads right now? I’m wondering what it’s like over there these days.
Basically, Cuomo is doing WORSE than when he lost the primary in a landslide and Curtis Sliwa is doing as bad as ever, but the billionaire-owned media is in denial and hoping that Mamdani will magically lose if they keep wishing and gaslighting hard enough.
