NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio addressed the incident at a press briefing on Monday, saying the shooting at the tourist hotspot was “absolutely unacceptable.” Lynch had better formulate a public denouncement of this move, with the details as to why it's dangerous, explaining, also, that this is one of several reasons why the office workers are not returning to their offices in Manhattan, fearing the ride on the subway.New York City officials on Monday said detectives are searching for the suspect who has been accused of shooting an innocent bystander who was visiting Times Square with his family over the weekend. The results of this political decision now becomes the problem of individual cops on Patrol and their personal safety. So much so, that the NYPD can NO LONGER take personnel from the "street" sectors and assign them to Transit, without seriously affected the overall "response times" to radio runs. Obviously, his background tells him this is wrong (or should), but, apparently, he has already promised too much which he cannot produce, due to finances and manpower.Īs I've said before, "radio runs" are the only stat which counts politically, and the time span of the time the 911 call is received and the time the Sector is assigned by the dispatcher (apparently disregarding the 10-84 time), is the figure that MOST politicians have reported. “The NYPD continues to assess conditions in the New York City Transit System and will continue to adjust deployments as appropriate,” an NYPD spokesperson said.Īdams is playing "wack-a-mole" with his "budget," and letting his lack of money become the cops' problem, not his. Other rank-and-file cops were “pissed” and taken by surprise by the mayor’s comments. Indeed, moments after the mayor’s unrelated press conference in the Bronx, a Post reporter spotted at least seven cops huddled together at the Third Avenue–149th Street station. The change was focused on reducing cops clustering on subway platforms.Paul Martinka They added the change was aimed at reducing cops clustering on subway platforms. “They can’t stand next to each other and be on the same platform.” “They’re really not single since they’re across the platform in view of their partner,” the source said. One cop said the mayor’s characterization was a bit misleading and believed it was a clear move to cut down on overtime in transit, where cops can log 40 to 60 hours of extra pay each month. “They’re even less effective now that criminals know there are no consequences for fighting cops and resisting arrest.” “Solo transit patrols were abandoned because they make it harder for cops to protect straphangers and ourselves,” PBA president Patrick Lynch said. Partnered patrols were initiated in 2014 after Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were killed in broad daylight sitting in a marked police car.AP Photo/New York Police Department, File It was unclear when the shift would start, but the move was already facing blowback by Friday afternoon from the NYPD’s largest police union in one of its first public criticisms of the Adams administration. The partnered patrols were initiated in 2014 to add a layer of safety for cops after NYPD Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were ambushed in broad daylight while sitting in a marked police car on a Brooklyn street corner. “When we made every patrol a dual patrol, we cut our department basically in half,” he added.Īdams said the move was not a budget decision but came from Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell’s internal review.

“What that is going to allow us to do is now utilize our resources in the omnipresence that we have been talking about. “We are determined to single patrol,” Adams said Friday morning. Mayor Eric Adams wants the NYPD to walk patrols on city subways alone to cover more ground - which would end a safety protocol put in place in the wake of the assassination of two police officers nearly a decade ago.
