The sense of safety that law enforcement is meant to provide can instead be threatening, and at times dangerous, to those in our community who are most often targeted with excessive force and\/or without reason,\u201d NYC Price said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/nyc-pride.s3.amazonaws.com\/Press+Release+2021-05-15+-+NYC+Pride+-+Police+Presence.pdf\">statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNYC Pride will ban corrections and law enforcement exhibitors at NYC Pride events until 2025. At that time their participation will be reviewed by the Community Relations and Diversity, Accessibility, and Inclusion committees, as well as the Executive Board,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cIn the meantime, NYC Pride will transition to providing increased community-based security and first responders, while simultaneously taking steps to reduce NYPD presence at events.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The New York Police Department (NYPD) called the new policy \u201churtful and disappointing\u201d and suggested that NYC Pride was acting counter to its aims of inclusion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c@NYCPride\u2019s decision to exclude members of the NYPD from Pride events is hurtful and disappointing. As this scene reminds us, inclusion and dialogue are the oxygen of reform \u2014 everything @GOALny stands for as they relentlessly challenge and make us a better department,\u201d NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Public Information John Miller tweeted along with a video of law enforcement marching at a Pride event.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"10.209944751381\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NYCPride?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@NYCPride<\/a>\u2019s decision to exclude members of the NYPD from Pride events is hurtful and disappointing.

Police officers are also banned from speaking at or participating in NYC Pride events.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNYPD will provide first response and security only when absolutely necessary as mandated by city officials. In these instances, NYC Pride will review foreseeable NYPD involvement and, in partnership with surrounding venue precincts, take steps to keep police officers at least one city block away from event perimeter areas where possible,\u201d NYC Pride said.<\/p>\n<p>Police officers have marched in NYC Pride events for nearly four decades, detective Brian Downey told the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/05\/16\/nypd-says-excluding-cops-from-nyc-pride-is-hurtful\/\">New York Post<\/a>.
