You\u2019ll see additional presence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The announcement comes close on the heels of another from de Blasio\u2019s office, directly reversing course on a decision to \u201cdefund\u201d the New York Police Department last year following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. <\/p>\n<p>In June of 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/states\/new-york\/albany\/story\/2021\/04\/20\/de-blasio-reverses-course-pledges-funding-for-new-nypd-precinct-1376388\">Politico noted<\/a>, de Blasio pledged to strip New York\u2019s law enforcement operating budget of nearly $1 billion, and take \u201canother $500 million from its operating budget.\u201d That drawback included a decision to scrap plans for a new NYPD precinct in Southeast Queens.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, de Blasio announced plans to move forward with the project, pledging $105 million to the effort.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is something that for decades the community asked for,\u201d de Blasio told a press conference.<\/p>\n<p>These are just the latest changes to de Blasio\u2019s plan to \u201cdefund the police,\u201d as Politico noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOther elements of the NYPD budget cuts pledged by de Blasio and the City Council have also been scuttled. They announced that school safety agents would be moved out of the NYPD, but budget documents showed they actually remain\u00a0within the police department. The\u00a0same was true for school crossing guards,\u201d Politico reported earlier in May. \u201cAn NYPD overtime cap imposed as part of the budget cut deal\u00a0is expected to be missed by hundreds of millions of dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As in many major cities, New York has suffered from a dramatic rise in crime, and, <a href=\"https:\/\/gothamist.com\/news\/after-painfully-violent-2020-nyc-shootings-continue-spike\">according to Gothamist<\/a>, is suffering through its worst gun violence epidemic in \u201cnearly a decade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2021 alone, 299 people have been shot, a 54% increase over the same time last year, and the most the city has seen since 2012,\u201d the outlet reported. \u201cNinety-two people have been murdered, a 19.5% jump,\u00a0according to the most recent NYPD data. In 2020, the city recorded 462 murders, an increase of 45% from 2019, even as most other major felonies declined. Shooting incidents overall\u00a0exploded 97% last year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
