NYC Council OCS Budget Hearing Mon Jun 1: Tisch Tells Menin OCS-NYPD Coordination "Has Not Yet Commenced" 11 Weeks After EO; Restler Calls B-HEARD 8% Response Rate "Essentially Irrelevant"

Mon Jun 1 City Council budget hearing — Speaker Julie Menin pressed Commissioner Tisch: "Have any programs shifted from the NYPD's purview to OCS? What specific roles and coordination will occur between NYPD and OCS?" Tisch response: "Those conversations have not yet commenced" — 11 weeks after Mamdani signed Mar 19 EO establishing OCS with $260M (cut to $270M in FY27 vs $1.1B pledge = broken promise already booked). City Hall sources told amNY a Tisch-Renita Francois meeting is scheduled "later this week," scheduled ahead of the hearing. CM Lincoln Restler (D-Brooklyn) called B-HEARD "essentially irrelevant" after revealing B-HEARD team responded to only ~1,411 of 17,961 eligible 911 mental-health calls Jan-Apr 2026 = 7.9%. Tisch defended existing B-HEARD as already covering the function. Lands as council prepares Jun 30 adoption.
