The NYPD's 2022 fiscal year expense budget is $5.6 billion, and while the NYPD is justifying the cost, some community activists believe some of that money could be better spent elsewhere.
While the New York City Council's Committee on Public Safety held a virtual preliminary budget hearing Friday, with input from the NYPD and the city's five District Attorneys, community activists again called on the Council to cut the NYPD's budget and bring the community into the conversation.
"The folks being regularly impacted by these politics are not at the table to help make those decisions," one protester said at a rally near City Hall. Multiple activist organizations say they want more money used to help prevent crime and believe it should be directed to youth programs and social services.
