NYPD Budget Holds at $6.4 Billion as Mamdani Cancels Adams' Plan for 5,000 Additional Officers

<cite index="13-6,13-8">Mayor Mamdani's budget keeps the NYPD's roughly $6.4 billion budget essentially flat and cancels his predecessor's plan to hire 5,000 additional police officers. The department's uniform head count is projected to remain just under 35,000 officers, effectively scrapping the 40,000-officer force envisioned under previous Mayor Eric Adams.</cite>
