De Blasio did not reveal how much funding he aimed to divert from the annual NYPD budget. The New York Times noted that the NYPD budget was $6 billion and accounted for 6 percent of the proposed 2021 NYC fiscal budget.
He did say that the details of any budget reallocation would be worked out ahead of the July 1 budget deadline.
“We’re committed to seeing a shift of funding to youth services, to social services, that will happen literally in the course of the next three weeks, but I’m not going to go into detail because it is subject to negotiation and we want to figure out what makes sense,” de Blasio said.
Other measures included shifting smaller responsibilities, such as street vendor enforcement, away from the NYPD and hiring “community ambassadors” to connect police departments and local communities.

That is absolutely right!
Social services? How are they going to protect social workers?
And by the way, I know in places like upstate NY, there have been quiet cases of social workers getting regularly sexual assaulted at the workplace or by “clients” while doing their duty, completely pimped by gangs.
C’mon Billy de ranged. Everyone knows when seconds count, cops are only minutes away. Claim all the murders to be Covid-19. Make some doe-ray-me, fool.
Keep up Billme. Do something smart for a change. Your bodyguards can handle the excess.
The country needs a large interstate building project as we need roads that completely bypass all the large cities and even their suburbs. That way, people who are traveling are not forced to run the gauntlet of these crime ridden ghettos where the barbarians are waiting to prey upon them.
No you call your neighborhood ambassador.
In China they call them Resident Committees I believe.
One agrees with your post, but it ain’t gonna last long.
With less Police AOC can take long walks in the Park
That and think of all the niche shops, restaurants, and sporting events that will take a s--t as well.
I'd never thought anyone could beat Dinkins for the worst Mayor of Gotham, but de Blasio is fast approaching that title.
“New York City Council announces plans to disband police department”!:
Who will take the place of the police? Social workers LOL LOL!!!
They will introduce Sharia law as the law of NewYorkcitystan and later of Newyorkstan?
Sharia Police. The Muslim sectors are ready for this. The city council will fund them as “Community Mental Health” organizations. (thanks to flamberge for this insight!)

Why not just defund the police and let NYers fend for themselves?
Works for me. If they are happy, I am happy.
Problem is, if they were to cut the police 50% nothing would change.
Did the world end when nearly 75% of all federal, state, county and city law enforcement were not operating a few weeks past? Did all the parks become dangerous (any more than they already were)? Were angry mobs roaming the streets? Did violent crime spike? Nope...
You are led to believe that the world will end if the TSA would vanish tomorrow. The truth is that they didn’t exist for 75 years of commercial air travel and things ran cheaper, more convenient, and faster without them. SINCE THEIR 9 BILLION DOLLAR A YEAR INCEPTION, THEY HAVE CAUGHT ZERO (0) TERRORISTS. So what would really happen if the TSA just vanished tomorrow? Would you really see hijackings suddenly? No...
I’ll bet I’m one of the only Freepers who has ever been inside “Fort Apache” — the 41st Precinct in the South Bronx!
Forget all that. Announce UR running for POTUS as the write-in candidate. You can beat Joek, like a rented donkey. You know you can. CLOWN SHOW stuck in cul-de-sac ALERT! Never let an agenda go FULL-RETARD. It’s all you, Bill. If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. It’s up to you, Willie D Blah Blah.
Yes, and an unarmed one at that. What is a social worker going to do? Talk gets us NO WHERE. So insane.
NYC is about to go K-A-P-U-T !!! (and deservedly so)
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse. There are no words...
Looks like they won’t need the money anyway half the force just quit.
